Computing in j (III)

In the previous exercise, you were able to pass expressions in j that returned a vector. Recall that if you want to return a data.table instead, wrap the expression with list() (or it's alias, .()). This lets you:

  • Rename the column result
  • Compute more than one expression on a column
  • Compute on more than one column
