Function scope (1)
Scoping is the process of how R looks a variable's value when given a name. For example, given x <- 5
, scoping is how R knows where to look to find that the value of x
is 5.
Try this scoping exercise!
percent_to_decimal <- function(percent) {
decimal <- percent / 100
decimal
}
percent_to_decimal(6)
[1] 0.06
What does typing decimal
now return?
