Hello,
I am attempting to write a function that assigns a value to a row or column
within the matrix that it runs on. I am, however, having trouble accessing
the row or column within this dynamic variable. I have looked through the
archives (nothing there) and read the rules for posting to this list. Please
help me out!
Here is a sample of the problem:
testMatrix = matrix(data=2, nrow=10, ncol=10)
testFunction = function (input)
{
inputName <<- deparse(substitute(input))
assign(inputName[1,], 4, envir = .GlobalEnv)
}
#this will give you the error
testFunction(testMatrix)
When I try to access "inputName[1,]" instead of "inputName," it fails. Does
anyone know how to do this?
Thanks in advance!!
