Hi, Does anyone know how I can retrieve a function name, for example
If I have a function f as follows: f <- function( myfunc ) { print( name_of(myfunc) ); } I want to know what I should have as "name_of" such that I could call this with : f( median ) and it would print "median" or f( my_function_name ) and it would print "m_function_name". So far all I can get is the function definition that myfunc points to. I thought the structure command might do it but this also just gives back the function definition and not the original name. Any suggestions?
