One normally uses UseMethod within a generic function to dispatch the appropriate method while NextMethod is normally used within the function so dispatched. An important difference is that UseMethod does not return, i.e. statements after UseMethod are not evaluated, whereas NextMethod does return. Have a look at print and print.ts for examples of UseMethod and NextMethod, respectively. Just type the following at the R prompt: print print.ts ______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide! http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html
