Changing the value of variables passed to functions as arguments
Paul Baer <baer at stanford.edu> writes:
Is it possible to write functions in such a way that, rather than having to write "a=function(a)", one can just write "function(a)" and have the variable passed as the argument be modified? My real interest here is being able to invoke the editor by writing "ed(filename)" rather than filename=edit(filename).
