Several times it occurred to me that a function that uses a variable name as a
parameter would be helpful, but I did not find out how to write such a
function. I have experience in several programming language, but I did not come

You're almost there:
a <- 12 # starting value
add <- function(variable,increment) {
variable + increment
}
add(a,25)
you shouldn't assign variable + increment to variable, unless you put a
return in your function:
add <- function(variable,increment) {
variable <- variable + incremen

function. I have experience in several programming language, but I did not come
across a helpful trick...
