Dear R users/developers, while ploughing through "An Introduction to R" [1], I found the expression "static scope" (in contraposition to "lexical scope").
I was a bit puzzled by the difference (since e.g. Wikipedia conflates the two) until I found this document [2]. Maybe the Introduction should link to it (or similar page) with text "In case you are interest in the difference between static and lexical scope, check this explanation"? Thanks -F [1] https://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-release/R-intro.html#Scope [2] https://cran.r-project.org/doc/misc/lexical.tex ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
