Dear Members,
I have the following code typed at the console
prompt:
y <- x*10
X has not been defined and the above code throws an object not found error.
That is, the global environment does not contain x. Why doesn't it look further
in the environment stack, like that of packages? There are thousands of
packages that contain the variable named x. Of course, that happens if the
above code is in a function (or does it?).
What concept of R is at work in this dichotomy?
THanking you,
Yours sincerely,
AKSHAY M KULKARNI
