R help - Mar 2011 - Arguments of a function

Hi, everybody,

I just want to pass arguments to a function as below:

range <- c(0.1, 0.5)

runif(1, range)

But it doesn?t work. 

Does anyone have any suggestions to offer? 

Thanks.

Lisa

You need to change your second line:

   range <- c(0.1, 0.5)
   runif(1, range[1], range[2])

?do.call  ## read it CAREFULLY, please.

do.call(runif,as.list(c(1,range)))
