Hi all, I would like to suggest that all R functions/etc like: codes-deprecated grid-internal ns-alt ns-dblcolon ns-hooks ns-internals ns-lowlev ns-reflect.Rd tools-internal ts-defunct utils-deprecated utils-internal ... and another i.e, function/word separate for '-' were all substituted by codes_deprecated grid_internal ns_alt ns_dblcolon ns_hooks ns_internals ns_lowlev ns_reflect.Rd tools_internal ts_defunct utils_deprecated utils_internal ... and another i.e, by '_' Because it is impossible to make a good highlighter with the first one. How to differentiating myValue: varOne = 100 varTwo = 50 myValue = varOne-varTwo from codes-deprecated, or ns-alt, for example.
One can create a variable with a minus in it by using backquotes:
`a-b` <- 3 a <- 10 b <- 4 `a-b` + a-b
[1] 9 # 3 + 10 - 4
