Tests and examples are different things. The fact that your example runs
only means that your code does not bomb on execution and not that it runs
correctly. Plus, the code in examples is meant as an aid to the user; a way
to help them understand how to use your code. Proper tests are there
I think we're also forgetting something, namely testing. If you write your
routine in C, you have placed additional burden upon yourself to test your C
code through unit tests, etc. If you write your code in R, you still need the
unit tests, but you can rely on the well tested nature of R to a
at is "the rist call"?
I think Brian meant to type "first call".
