## While in R v. 2.3.1 (the mid-July patch for Windows) ## on a Windows XP machine, this call to order() works fine...
order(1:10,decreasing = TRUE) ## [1] 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 ## ...however, the argument name 'decreasing' ## must be typed in toto (note the missing 'g' ## in the following): > order(1:10,decreasin = TRUE) ## Error in order(na.last, decreasing, ...) : ## argument lengths differ ## Isn't is standard practice to have R base functions ## accept truncated argument names as long as they are ## unambiguous?
