Dear Duncan, dear Rui,
thanks for your replies. You are correct regarding the additional paranthesis. I probably copied the wrong code. I, however, get this inlinedocs error with the correct version. After contacting the package maintainer I think this is now added to inlinedocs list of bugs.
Thanks agian for replies! Jannis On 24.01.2013 20:02, Rui Barradas wrote:
Hello, Sorry, it's RIGHT parenthesis. Rui Barradas Em 24-01-2013 18:54, Rui Barradas escreveu:Hello, Your function declaration has a syntax error, one left parenthesis too much. Corrected it would be dummyfunction <- function(filters = function(x) {b = 0; x > b} ){ # rest of code here filters # this returns a function, don't need return() } x <- -5:5 f <- dummyfunction() # this creates the default function f(x) g <- dummyfunction(mean) # this creates another function g(x) As you can see, you can use default functions as arguments in your function declaration. Hope this helps, Rui Barradas Em 24-01-2013 18:32, Jannis escreveu:Dear R community, I have a problem when I use functions as default values for argumnents in other functions. When I use curly brackets { here, I can not create a package with inlinedocs. It will give me the error when using package.skeleton() in my package structure: Error in parse(text = utxt) : <text>:4:0: unexpected end of input For example: dummyfunction = function(filters = function(x) {b = 0; x > b} )) { # rest of code here return(filters) } This seems to me as a legal function declaration but creates the above mentioned error. Is this an error of inlinedocs or do I misunderstand the R language? Or is there another way of using functions in such a way as arguments? In this case I could easily define this filters argument inside the function for cases when it is not supplied as an argument but I have some more complex functions where I really need to define something sequential as an argument like: dummyfunction = function(filters = {a = 1; b > a; b}) {print('test')} I hope I could clarify my problem.
