formula argument evaluation
I suppose it would work, although "=>" is rather a descriptive symbol and
less a function.
But choosing between quoting:
"A + B => C"
and a regular function:
A + B %=>% C
probably quoting is the most straightforward, as the result of the foo()
function has to be a string anyways (which is parsed by other functions).

formula argument evaluation
%=>% would have precendence ('order of operations') problems also.
A + B %=>% C
is equivalent to
A + ( B %=>% C)
and I don't think that is what you want.
as.list(quote(A + B %=>% C)) shows the first branch in the parse tree. The
following function, str.language, shows the entire parse tree, as in
> str.language(quote(A + B %=>% C))

You are right. >= is not as evocative as =>. Perhaps > and < would do?
%=>% and %<=% would work.

Would making it regular function %=>%, using "%" instead of quotes,
work for you?

I see. I thought it was parsed inside the function, but if it's parsed
before then quoting is the

Dear Bill,
I already tried this, and it would have been great as (currently) the sufficiency relation is precisely "=>"... but:
foo <- function(x) return(substitute(x))
foo(A => B)
Error: unexpected '>' in "foo(A =>"
It seems that "=>" is a syntactic error for the R parser, while "<=" is not because it denotes less than or

problems with RdMacros in file DESCRIPTION
Hi,
Field RdMacros was introduced in file DESCRIPTION to allow users to import LaTeX-like macros from other packages.
Currently 'R CMD Check --as-cran' gives a NOTE:

In the help page for ?is.integer, there is this function
is.wholenumber <-
function(x, tol = .Machine$double.eps^0.5) abs(x - round(x)) < tol
A quick question: is there a case where this alternative function will not
work?
function(x) x %% 1 == 0
Best,

paste strings in C
Dear R-devs,
Below is a small example of what I am trying to achieve, that is trivial in
R and I would like to learn how to do in C, for very large matrices:
> (mymat <- matrix(c(1,0,0,2,2,1), nrow = 2))
[,1] [,2] [,3]
[1,] 1 0 2
[2,] 0 2 1
And I would like to produce:
[1] "a*C" "B*c"
Which can be trivially done in R via something like:

Thank you for your replies, this actually has little to do with the regular R code but more to signal what in my package QCA is referred to as a necessity relation A <- B (A is necessary for B) and sufficiency A -> B (A is sufficient for B).
If switched by the parser, A -> B becomes B <- A which makes B necessary for A, while the intention is to signal sufficiency for B.

Problem with <= (less than or equal): not giving the expected result
Yes, that does have to do with floating point representation.
I use this function for these types of comparisons (works with values as
well as with vectors):
check.equal <- function(x, y) {
check.vector <- as.logical(unlist(lapply(x, all.equal, y)))
check.vector[is.na(check.vector)] <- FALSE
return(check.vector)
}
See:

importing namespaces from base packages
Dear All,
I understand the R CMD checks with only the base package attached,
everything else (including the other packages bundled with the base R)
should be imported and most importantly declared in the Imports field from
the DESCRIPTION file.
However, I do use functions from other packages than base (utils,
grDevices, stats, graphics), for which it is sufficient to declare

paste strings in C
To do this in C, it would probably be easier and faster to just do the
string manipulation directly. Luckily, there are already packages that
have done this for you. See an example below using the S4Vectors
package.
foo2 <- function(mymat, colnms, tilde=FALSE) {
chars <- colnms[col(mymat)]
lowerChars <- if (tilde) paste0("~", chars) else tolower(chars)
chars <-

Using => and <= instead of -> and <- would make things easier, although the
precedence would be different.

I have a simple function such as:

I searched and tried for hours, to no avail although it looks simple.
(function(x) substitute(x))(A <- B)
#A <- B
(function(x) substitute(x))(A -> B)
# B <- A
In the first example, A occurs on the LHS, but in the second example A is somehow evaluated as if it occured on the RHS, despite my understanding that substitute() returns the unevaluated parse tree.
Is there any way, or is
