[R] calling the function which is stored in a list

2012-02-09 Thread arunkumar1111
Hi

I'm storing two functions in a list

# creating two function
  function1 - function(n) {
  return(sum(n))
}

function2 - function(n) {
  return(mean(n))
}

#storing the function 
function3 =c(function1,function2)

is it possible to call the stored function and used it ?

 x=c(10,29)
funtion3[1](x)

Thanks

Yes, if you correct the typo and use list indexing with double brackets:

function3[[1]](x)

In addition to [[ as in the other response also try this:

L - list(function1 = sum, function2 = mean)
L$function1(1:3)


Note that the proto package is somewhat similar but stores functions
in environments rather than lists and also supports a type of object
oriented programming:

library(proto)

p - proto(function1 = function(., n) sum(n),
  function2 = function(., n) mean(n),
  function3 = function(.) mean(.$x),
  x = 1:10
)

p$function1(1:3)
p$function3() # mean of 1:10
p$x - 1:5
p$function3() # mean of 1:5

# define child p2 with its own x overriding p's x
p2 - p$proto(x = 10:15)

# p2 has its own x so this is mean of 10:15
# p2 inherits its methods from p so its has a
#   function3 too
p2$function3()

p$function3() # p unchanged. Still mean of 1:5.
