R: Pass by reference
- by Pierre
Can you pass by reference with "R" ?
for example, in the following code:
setClass("MyClass",
representation(
name="character"
))
instance1 <-new("MyClass",name="Hello1")
instance2 <-new("MyClass",name="Hello2")
array = c(instance1,instance2)
instance1
array
instance1@name="World!"
instance1
array
the output is
> instance1
An object of class “MyClass”
Slot "name":
[1] "World!"
> array
[[1]]
An object of class “MyClass”
Slot "name":
[1] "Hello1"
[[2]]
An object of class “MyClass”
Slot "name":
[1] "Hello2"
but I wish it was
> instance1
An object of class “MyClass”
Slot "name":
[1] "World!"
> array
[[1]]
An object of class “MyClass”
Slot "name":
[1] "World!"
[[2]]
An object of class “MyClass”
Slot "name":
[1] "Hello2"
is it possible ?
Thanks
Pierre
