我似乎无法使应用函数访问/修改在外部声明的变量...什么给出了?
x = data.frame(age=c(11,12,13), weight=c(100,105,110))
x
testme <- function(df) {
i <- 0
apply(df, 1, function(x) {
age <- x[1]
weight <- x[2]
cat(sprintf("age=%d, weight=%d\n", age, weight))
i <- i+1 #this could not access the i variable in outer scope
z <- z+1 #this could not access the global variable
})
cat(sprintf("i=%d\n", i))
i
}
z <- 0
y <- testme(x)
cat(sprintf("y=%d, z=%d\n", y, z))
结果:
age=11, weight=100
age=12, weight=105
age=13, weight=110
i=0
y=0, z=0

使用<<-
运算符可以写入外部作用域中的变量:
x = data.frame(age=c(11,12,13), weight=c(100,105,110))
x
testme <- function(df) {
i <- 0
apply(df, 1, function(x) {
age <- x[1]
weight <- x[2]
cat(sprintf("age=%d, weight=%d\n", age, weight))
i <<- i+1 #this could not access the i variable in outer scope
z <<- z+1 #this could not access the global variable
})
cat(sprintf("i=%d\n", i))
i
}
z <- 0
y <- testme(x)
cat(sprintf("y=%d, z=%d\n", y, z))
结果如下:
age=11, weight=100
age=12, weight=105
age=13, weight=110
i=3
y=3, z=3
请注意,<<-
的使用是危险的,因为您打破了范围。只有在真的有必要时才这样做,如果你这样做,请清楚地记录这种行为(至少在更大的脚本中)

在申请中尝试以下内容。试验n的值。我相信对于i
,它应该比z
少一个。
assign("i", i+1, envir=parent.frame(n=2))
assign("z", z+1, envir=parent.frame(n=3))
<小时/>
testme <- function(df) {
i <- 0
apply(df, 1, function(x) {
age <- x[1]
weight <- x[2]
cat(sprintf("age=%d, weight=%d\n", age, weight))
## ADDED THESE LINES
assign("i", i+1, envir=parent.frame(2))
assign("z", z+1, envir=parent.frame(3))
})
cat(sprintf("i=%d\n", i))
i
}
> z <- 0
> y <- testme(x)
age=11, weight=100
age=12, weight=105
age=13, weight=110
i=3
> cat(sprintf("y=%d, z=%d\n", y, z))
y=3, z=3
