Sorry, I'm not with you. I'm slow, and as I said, I don't
really grok environments.
Let's look at a toy example. Suppose I want to create a function foo:
function(x){x^n}
and assign n the value of 4, say, in the environment of foo.
Duncan Murdoch's solution was to create a function make.foo:
make.foo <- function() {
n <- 4
foo <- function(x){x^n}
foo
}
and then execute
foo <- make.foo()
How would I go about accompishing the same (toy) task making use of the
local() function?
Thanks.
cheers,
Rolf
