You are missing 'force'.
See 'The R Inferno' page 90.
In this case you can define:
f <- function(y) { force(y); function() y}

Hey guys,
I have a doubt here , It is something simple I guess, what am I missing out
here ??
f<- function(y) function() y
tmp<- vector("list", 5)
for (i in 1:5) tmp[[i]]<- f(i)
tmp[[1]]() # returns 5;
z<- f(6)
tmp[[1]]() # still returns 5; it should return 6 "ideally" right ???
Even if I dont evaluate the function tmp[[1]] before i.e I do
rm(list=ls())
f<- function(y) function() y
tmp<- vector("list", 5)
for (i in 1:5) tmp[[i]]<- f(i)
z<- f(6)
tmp[[1]]() # it still returns 5; it should return 6 "ideally" right ???
