My function changes these arrays and I want them as result/output. I have tried to write return(w,x,y,z), and thus to replace the previous w, x, y and z. It does not seem to work. What can I do ? -- 1. Read the Help file? -- which says: return(value) Arguments: value: An expression. -- and note that w,x,y,z is **not** a legal R expression 2. Have you read the online documentation, including an Introduction to R? There you would find many examples. 3. return(list(w,x,y,z)) ## is what you want ## or even list(w,x,y,z) ## without the return(), as the last R expression is by default what is returned. Thank you very much, Gustave [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list 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. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list 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.
