I am porting a program in matlab to R,
The problem is that Matlab has a feature where symbols that aren't arguments
are evaluated immediately.
That is:
Y=3
F=@(x) x*Y
Will yield a function such that F(2)=6.
If later say. Y=4 then F(2) will still equal 6.
R on the other hand has lazy evaluation.
F<-function(x){x*Y}
Will do the following
Y=3
F(2)=6
Y=4
F(2)=8.
Does anyone know of away to defeat lazy evaluation in R so that I can easily
simulate the Matlab behavior. I know that I can live without this in ordinary
programming but it would make my port much easier.
Thanks.
