OK. The fact it's in a function is making things clearer. Are you trying to update the values of an object from within the function, and have them available outside the function. I don't speak functional programming articulately enough but basically
v <- 1 funA <- function() { v <- v+1 } funA() cat (v) # 1 You either return the v from the function so funB <- function() { v <- v+1 return (v) } v <- funB() cat (v) #2 Or use <<- assignment I think. (I usually return, but return can only return one object and I think you want two or more v <- 1 funC <- function() { v <<- v+1 } funC() cat (v) #2 On Fri, 9 Aug 2024, 09:03 Steven Yen, <st...@ntu.edu.tw> wrote: > Thanks.
