I have the following function that makes use of lazy loading.


I guess you mean *lazy evaluation* rather than *lazy loading* (as used in loading functions or data from the package databases).


foo <- function(x=2*y, y=x/2) cat(x,y)

Now I want to be able to modify it like below:

foo(y=x/3)


You really want to *modify* the list of formal arguments like that or do you want to *call* it like that?


Of course, this does not work as the object x is not known.

Right.


Still I
would like to be able to pass a function as an argument that is
evaluated using lazy loading.

If you rephrase your question more exactly and give a more elaborated example where you want to make use of it, we may be able to help, but I do not want to answer based on speculations here.

Best,
Uwe Ligges



Can someone help?

Thanks,
Mark
