Question on assignment
Hello,
Maybe using ?parent.frame. Something like
fn2 <- function(x) {
x1 <- function(y = x) {
env <- parent.frame()
env$y1 <- log(y)
y2 <- y^2
return(0)
}
### I want the variable 'y1' is available here.
### WITHOUT using the return() within x1()
try(x1(), silent = TRUE)
print(y1) # available
return(class(try(x1(), silent = TRUE)))
}
fn2(5)
fn2("sd") # This will throw an error in print(y1)
The example needs to be refined but y1 is available to the parent.env of
x1(), if x1() succeeds.
Hope this helps,

Hello again, I was trying to understand how I can assign variables in
some other Environments which is different from that variable's
original Environment. Let say I have following nested functions:
fn <- function(x) {
x1 <- function(y = x) {
y1 <- log(y)
y2 <- y^2
return(0)
}
### I want the variable 'y1' is available here. WITHOUT using the
return() within x1()
return(class(try(x1(), silent = TRUE)))
}
fn(5)
fn("sd")
Here I want that the variable 'y1' which is defined within the
function x1() should be available in it's parent function fn() but not
in the Global Env. I have tried with the '<<-' operator, however could
not achieve what I want.
Can somebody point me towards the right direction?
Thanks for your help.
