I'm beginner with R language My goal is to write a function that takes an input Erlang entering your
· Name · Name · Date of birth. The program will calculate age and display output first I do know the system date (month, day, year) I find with Sys.Date () I found a function. net to calculate the age Protected Sub calcul_age() Dim datetimenow = DateTime.Now Dim datedenaissance = CDate(TbDn.Text) Dim age As Integer age = CInt(Now.Year - datedenaissance.Year) If (datedenaissance.Month > Now.Month) Then age = age - 1 End If If ((datedenaissance.Month = Now.Month) And (datedenaissance.Day > Now.Day)) Then age = age - 1 End If Me.Label3.Text = " Age : " & age & " ans" End Sub So I need to find the equivalent of this function with R language so I think that I will start by : affichage<-function() { print( "enter the first name" ) firstname <- scan(nmax=1) print( "enter the last name" ) lastname <- scan(nmax=1) print( "enter the date of birth" ) dateofbirth <- ........ here start the problem ........ ............ } -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/problem-with-Erlang-function-tp4649303.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list 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.
