I apologize for this newbie question. But I can't seem
to find in R online manual.
1. How can I return two values in a function?
2. How can I capture the values again of this function?
myfunc <- function (array) {
# do something with array
# get something assign to "foo" and "bar"
print(foo)
print(bar)
# how can I return "foo" and "bar" ?
}
# Is this the way to capture it?
(nfoo,nbar) <- myfunc(some_array)
One way would be :
myfunc <- function (array) {
# do something with array
# get something assign to "foo" and "bar"
result <- c(foo, bar)
return(result)
# how can I return "foo" and "bar" ?
}
res <- myfunc(some_array)
res[1]
[1] "foo.stuff"
res[2]
[1] "bar.stuff"
