Hi, I wrote a relatively simple function. If i run the code inside the function line by line i am getting the result i was expecting, but if i run the function, i get a different result.
The function: grr1 <- function(rn) { r.up <- c() for (i in 1:rn-1) { if (i%%2==0) ru <- seq(1,i) else ru <- seq(i,1) r.up <- c(r.up, ru) } return(r.up) } So, if rn is 3 for example i would expect to get 1 1 2 grr1(3) [1] 1 0 1 1 2 If i run it line by line inside the function: r.up <- c() > r.up NULL i=1 if (i%%2==0) ru <- seq(1,i) else ru <- seq(i,1) > ru [1] 1 r.up <- c(r.up, ru) r.up [1] 1 i=2 if (i%%2==0) ru <- seq(1,i) else ru <- seq(i,1) ru [1] 1 2 r.up <- c(r.up, ru) > r.up [1] 1 1 2 So - i am getting the result i am expecting. From where the 1 0 before what i expect as a result comes from? I am sure i am doing some very basic error, but it seems i cannot figure it out. I run R x64 3.2.6. I know it is not the latest version, but it should not give me unexpected results because of that i would think. sessionInfo() R version 3.6.2 (2019-12-12) Platform: x86_64-w64-mingw32/x64 (64-bit) Running under: Windows 10 x64 (build 17763) Matrix products: default locale: [1] LC_COLLATE=English_United States.1252 [2] LC_CTYPE=English_United States.1252 [3] LC_MONETARY=English_United States.1252 [4] LC_NUMERIC=C [5] LC_TIME=English_United States.1252 attached base packages: [1] stats graphics grDevices utils datasets methods base loaded via a namespace (and not attached): [1] compiler_3.6.2 Thanks, Monica [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
