I am stuck with a problem and I need help --------------------------- R has a defined function sum() I by chance defined a function with same name and now I m not able to get rid of my sum() fuction. Every time i use sum() my sum function gets called and not the R's built in one...
Almost for sure your .Rdata is read in. Either try another startup directory, or delete .Rdata, or start R with the --vanilla option.
To correct this without deleting .Rdata: mysum <- sum ## if you still want to use your function rm(sum) This will remove your sum, leaving the 'built-in' available. You can also access the 'built-in' as: base::sum() if there was any reason to keep both functions with the same name (unlikely). Cheers, Tyler --
