[Rd] syntax questtion, maybe a bug (PR#1214)
S-Plus takes names of the form ".2logl" since it sees a single set of letters beginning with "." and continuing with alphanumerics.> .2logl <- function(x) 2*log(x) > .2logl(3)[1] 2.197225>The same name is rejected by R, my guess is that the ".2" is recognized as a number and then there is no operator symbol between the "2" and the following alphabet symbols.> .2logl <- function(x) 2*log(x)Error: syntax error Is this an intentional syntax difference between R and S? Or is it a bug? (continue) I am using rw1031 Version 1.3.1 (2001-08-31) on windows.
