Hello,
I was trying to define a set of functions inside a loop, with the loop index
working as a parameter for each function. Below I post a simpler example, as
to illustrate what I was intending:
f<-list()
for (i in 1:10){
f[[i]]<-function(t){
f[[i]]<-t^2+i
}
}
rm(i)
With that, I was expecting that f[[1]] would be a function defined by t^2+1,
f[[2]] by t^2+2 and so on. However, the index i somehow doesn't "get in" the
function definition on each loop, that is, the functions f[[1]] through
f[[10]] are all defined by t^2+i. Thus, if I remove the object i from the
workspace, I get an error when evaluating these functions. Otherwise, if
don't remove the object i, it ends the loop with value equal to 10 and then
f[[1]](t)=f[[2]](t)=...=f[[10]](t)=t^2+10.
I am aware that I could simply put
f<-function(u,i){
f<-t^2+i
}
but that's really not what I want.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance,
Eduardo Horta
