I've written a function (for the 'oce' package) that takes a list of one type of object (a "station", observations made by a ship at one location), and creates another object (a "section", containing a sequence of station observations).
My question is, should I name my function "make.section()" or "as.section()"? I wouldd like to pattern the name on other R functions, but I'm having difficulty understanding when 'as' and 'make' are used. (At the moment, I am using 'make', because it seems to me that 'as' is mainly for mapping input to output on a sort of one-to-one basis.) Any suggestions? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/better-function-name%3A-make-or-as-tp22465595p22465595.html Sent from the R devel mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
