Making an if condition variable ?

Thank you all for wisdom :) Problem is that I change the condition often and then I forget it. I wanted to put it at the beginning of the program with the other parameters so I wouldn't miss it.
In this case - why not use a function instead of the condition?
cond <- function(x){x>0}
and than
if (cond(4)) {...}
might be the easiest in this case?
or, more flexible,
cond <- function(...){x>0}
if (cond(x=3)) {...}
Cheers,
Rainer

Beware of getting too "meta" in your programming... it is rarely worth it. Just write the code and move on with life. That is the beauty of a scripting language.
+1 I think this a very common pitfall (I know it from own experience...) and I would say a candidate for a fortune? Rainer
