Is there any way of tuning off the printing when using the :=
assignment? I have taken to writing code like
library("data.table")
DT <- data.table(idx = 1:10, key = "idx")
for (i in 1) { # Avoid default print
DT[, v := runif(idx)]
}
just to avoid cluttering my screen. I could of course wrap it in
invisible() instead, though I am not sure that makes for much cleaner
code, or use
DT$v <- with(DT, runif(idx))
when adding new columns. But I thought := was clever and used an
overallocation trick, and I of course wanted to benefit from this.
