### Name: call ### Title: Function Calls ### Aliases: call is.call as.call ### Keywords: programming attribute ### ** Examples is.call(call) #-> FALSE: Functions are NOT calls ## set up a function call to round with argument 10.5 cl <- call("round", 10.5) is.call(cl)# TRUE cl ## such a call can also be evaluated. eval(cl)# [1] 10 A <- 10.5 call("round", A) # round(10.5) call("round", quote(A)) # round(A) f <- "round" call(f, quote(A)) # round(A) ## if we want to supply a function we need to use as.call or similar f <- round ## Not run: call(f, quote(A)) # error: first arg must be character (g <- as.call(list(f, quote(A)))) eval(g) ## alternatively but less transparently g <- list(f, quote(A)) mode(g) <- "call" g eval(g) ## see also the examples in the help for do.call
