Hello, I have a function that looks like f=function( type=c("dummy,"A","B,"C"), ... ) { type<-match.arg(type) if (type=="dummy") stop("Please choose a type that is not dummy.") ... }
I put a "dummy" in the list of choices as a mechanism to prevent users from not specifying a value for "type" when calling the function. My question is whether there is a better way to achieve it that does not need "dummy". Thanks, Youyi ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
