Just to add on a bit, please note that the return is superfluous. If you write
this:
normalDensityFunction = function(x, Mean, Variance) {
# no "return" value given at all
(1/sqrt(2*pi*Variance))*exp(-(1/2)*((x - Mean)^2)/Variance)
}
normalDensityFunction(2,0,1)
...you get the
Sorry, I missed the operation-after-function call aspect of the OP question.
However, I think my policy of avoiding the return function as much as possible
serves as an effective antibugging strategy for this problem, in addition to
its other benefits.

I stand corrected. I have been chided in the past for not explicitly returning
my output by someone claiming it is not best practices.

I find your response here inconsistent... either including `return` causes a

I carefully avoid using the return function in R.

I've noticed that if I don't include parentheses around the intended return
value for the "return" statement, R will assume the first parenthetical
expression is the intended return value ... even if that parenthetical
expression is only part of a larger expression.
Is this intentional?
