[R] understanding the FUNCTION function

Hello, I am trying to understand why the FUNCTION used in several codes, won't create the object after it finishes running the code. For instance, look at the following: Number<- function(x) {MyNumberIs<-x} When I run Number(5) Everything goes well, except that if I try to call the object MyNu

Ista, Since you seem to know your stuff very well, how would you get 120 out of a function that gives you the factorial of 5, without using factorial(5)? > Meanwhile, look at this example instead: > fac<-function(x){a<-1 > for(i in 1:x){ > a<-a*i >
