I consistently use ";" at every end of my R code and have found it much more neat than those sentences without an end; for "<-" and "=", if I were the author I would rather take the first representation as a sign of passing-by-reference while the latter by value.

Perhaps a definitive style guide published by R core that ensured consistency among new base code would be a helpful addition. I personally find the above style guide extremely useful when multiple programmers work on the same project, and would welcome a formal endorsement or revision by the R developers. (And despite Henrik's elegant guide, I too leave off the semicolons at the end of the lines.) --Robert ______________________________________________ R-help@stat.math.ethz.ch mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide! http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.htmlde.html ______________________________________________ R-help@stat.math.ethz.ch mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide! http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html
