Dear all, could you please advice whether it is possible somehow to modify an external (from the point of some function view) variable by some function-internal operators. For examplevar=1 foo<-function(var){var=var+1} foo(var) var[1] 1
Use functions the way they are designed to be used in R ... to return values:

but the goal is to get the var equal to 2 in this specific case.
