search for: plus3

Hi All, I'd like to be able to specify the ordered composition of several functions. So I defined compose: compose <- function(f,g){ function(x){f(g(x))} } and some simple test functions: plus2 <- function(x){x+2} plus3 <- function(x){x+3} plus4 <- function(x){x+4} > (compose(plus2,compose(plus3,plus4)))(3) [1] 12 Works fine. But trying to reduce a list of functions by compose fails: > Reduce(compose,list(plus2,plus3,plus4),right=TRUE)(3) Error: evaluation nested too deeply: infinite recursion / op...
