Hi Ian,
The remark of Rainer is correct, but I think the solution is very simpe:
f1 = function(a)
{
b = a + 1
b
}
f2 = function(x, z)
{
y = x*z(x) -2
y
}
> f2(x = 3, z = f1)
[1] 10
Or are you intending something else?
Best wishes,
Frans

Onderwerp: [R] Help with functions as arguments
Hi,
I am trying to write a function which defines some arguments, then uses
those arguments as arguments of other function calls. It's a bit tricky to
explain, so a simple example will have to suffice. I imagine this has a
simple solution, but perusing through environments and other help lists has
not helped. Suppose I have two functions:
f1 = function(a)
{
b = a + 1
b
}
f2 = function(x, z)
{
y = x*z -2
y
}
Where I am running into trouble is when I want to call function f1 within
function f2:
f2(x = 3, z = f1(x))
This returns the error:
"Error in f1(x) : object 'x' not found"
I'm not sure how to define environments within the functions so that the
just-defined 'x' may be passed as an argument to f1 within f2.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
