R code in C++ files
When you compile your C++ file with sourceCpp() (or the "Source" button in RStudio), Rcpp compiles your code and makes the exported
functions available as R functions.
sourceCpp() also treats comments between /*** R and */ as R code to be executed once the code is compiled.
/*** R
# Run the exported R code here
*/
This is particularly useful when you are developing your code because you can very quickly test the effects of changes to your code.
You will use these special comments throughout the rest of this course.

Optimizing R Code with Rcpp
Oefeninstructies
- Start an Rcpp R comment block with
/*** R. - Call the
distfunction to calculate the distance from the origin to the(3,4)point. - Close the Rcpp R comment block with
*/.

#include
using namespace Rcpp;
double square(double x) {
return x * x ;
}
// [[Rcpp::export]]
double dist(double x, double y) {
return sqrt(square(x) + square(y));
}
