Custom Functons in R

Creating custom functions in R is a deep, deep rabbit hole. Here I’ll just show you a boiler plate example of the process.

This is a custom function that takes two main arguements and returns the arguements pasted together as a single string. If you do not enter a second arguement, the function defaults to ‘default’.

my_function <- function(arguement_1, arguement_2 = 'default', ...) {
  results = paste(arguement_1, arguement_2)
  print(results)
}


my_function('yes', 'no')

## [1] "yes no"

my_function('yes')

## [1] "yes default"

That’s all for now!
