Hello Bert,
Thank you for the reply and your clarifications. Yes, it might be helpful to
look into R?s formal grammar to see how ?function? parses input to delegate
correct syntax. Is that accessible online?
Thank you,
Shelby

1. This is a plain text list; all html is stripped. So there is no red
highlighting.
2. There is no "source code" for "function" -- it is a
reserved keyword.
Or are you looking for R's formal grammar -- e.g. how it parses input to
determine correct syntax?

Hi all,
I have been attempting to access the source code for the keyword ?function? to
better understand how it assigns and stores logical inputs, like in the subset()
[base] function. Does anyone know how I can access the source code for this?
For example, if I have
norm <- function(x){
sqrt(x%*%x))
}
I am looking for the source code for the ?function? portion, highlighted in red.
Thank you for your time and assistance,

If you are looking for an R code parser, I think the `parse` and `eval` function might be a good start point. See the example below.> parse(text="function(x)message(x)")expression(function(x)message(x))> eval(parse(text="function(x)message(x)"))function(x)message(x) Best, Jiefei On Fri, Sep 6, 2019 at 12:55 PM Golden, Shelby <GoldenS at njhealth.org> wrote:> Hello Bert, > > Thank you for the reply and your clarifications.

The following may be of use (it gives the parse tree of the text):> z <- as.list(parse(text = "function(x)x %*% x")) > z[[1]]function(x) x %*% x> z[[c(1,1)]]`function`> z[[c(1,2)]]$x> z[[c(1,3)]]x %*% x> z[[c(1,3,1)]]`%*%`> z[[c(1,3,2)]]x> z[[c(1,3,3)]]x Bert Gunter On Fri, Sep 6, 2019 at 10:14 AM Wang Jiefei <szwjf08 at gmail.com> wrote:> If you are looking for an R code parser, I think the `parse` and `eval` > function might be a good start point.
