一、Function basics

1、Creating your own function

Call function() to create your own function. Document your function with comments

c 复制代码 
# get.wordtab.king: get a word table from King's "I Have A Dream" speech
# Input: none
# Output: word table, i.e., vector with counts as entries and associated
#         words as names

get.wordtab.king = function() {
  lines = readLines("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/king.txt")
  text = paste(lines, collapse=" ")
  words = strsplit(text, split="[[:space:]]|[[:punct:]]")[[1]]
  words = words[words != ""]
  wordtab = table(words)
  return(wordtab)
}
  • Input: none
  • Output: word table, i.e., vector with counts as entries and associated words as names

Much better: create a word table function that takes a URL of web

c 复制代码 
# get.wordtab.from.url: get a word table from text on the web
# Input:
# - str.url: string, specifying URL of a web page 
# Output: word table, i.e., vector with counts as entries and associated
#   words as names

get.wordtab.from.url = function(str.url) {
  lines = readLines(str.url)
  text = paste(lines, collapse=" ")
  words = strsplit(text, split="[[:space:]]|[[:punct:]]")[[1]]
  words = words[words != ""]
  wordtab = table(words)
  return(wordtab)
}

  • Input:

    • str.url: string, specifying URL of a web page

  • Output: word table, i.e., vector with counts as entries and associated words as names

2、Function structure

The structure of a function has three basic parts:

  • Inputs (or arguments ): within the parentheses of function()
  • Body (code that is executed): within the braces {}
  • Output (or return value ): obtained with function return()
  • (optional) Comments: description of functions by comments
c 复制代码 
# get.wordtab.from.url: get a word table from text on the web
# Input:
# - str.url: string, specifying URL of a web page 
# Output: word table, i.e., vector with counts as entries and associated
#   words as names

get.wordtab.from.url = function(str.url) {
  lines = readLines(str.url)
  text = paste(lines, collapse=" ")
  words = strsplit(text, split="[[:space:]]|[[:punct:]]")[[1]]
  words = words[words != ""]
  wordtab = table(words)
  return(wordtab)
}

3、Using your created function

Our created functions can be used just like the built-in ones

c 复制代码 
# Using our function
king.wordtab.new = get.wordtab.from.url(
  "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mxcai/BIOS5801/main/data/king.txt")
all(king.wordtab.new == king.wordtab)
## [1] TRUE

# Revealing our function's definition
get.wordtab.from.url
## function(str.url) {
## lines = readLines(str.url)
## text = paste(lines, collapse=" ")
## words = strsplit(text, split="[[:space:]]|[[:punct:]]")[[1]]
## words = words[words != ""]
## wordtab = table(words)
## return(wordtab)
## }

4、Multiple inputs

Our function can take more than one input

c 复制代码 
# get.wordtab.from.url: get a word table from text on the web
# Inputs:
# - str.url: string, specifying URL of a web page 
# - split: string, specifying what to split on
# Output: word table, i.e., vector with counts as entries and associated
#   words as names

get.wordtab.from.url = function(str.url, split) {
  lines = readLines(str.url)
  text = paste(lines, collapse=" ")
  words = strsplit(text, split=split)[[1]]
  words = words[words != ""]
  table(words)
}
  • Inputs:
  • str.url: string, specifying URL of a web page
  • split: string, specifying what to split on
  • Output: word table, i.e., vector with counts as entries and associated words as names

5、Default inputs

Our function can also specify default values for the inputs (if the user doesn't specify an input in the function call, then the default value is used)

c 复制代码 
# get.wordtab.from.url: get a word table from text on the web
# Inputs:
# - str.url: string, specifying URL of a web page 
# - split: string, specifying what to split on. Default is the regex pattern
#   "[[:space:]]|[[:punct:]]"
# - convert2lower: Boolean, TRUE if words should be converted to lower case before
#   the word table is computed. Default is TRUE
# Output: word table, i.e., vector with counts as entries and associated
#   words as names

get.wordtab.from.url = function(str.url, split="[[:space:]]|[[:punct:]]", 
                                convert2lower=TRUE) {
  lines = readLines(str.url)
  text = paste(lines, collapse=" ")
  words = strsplit(text, split=split)[[1]]
  words = words[words != ""]
  # Convert to lower case, if we're asked to
  if (convert2lower) words = tolower(words)
  table(words)
}

二、Return values and side effects

1、Returning more than one thing

R doesn't let your function have multiple outputs, but you can return a list

When creating a function in R, though you cannot return more than one output, you can return a list. This (by definition) can contain an arbitrary number of arbitrary objects

  • Inputs :
    • str.url: string, specifying URL of a web page
    • split: string, specifying what to split on. Default is the regex pattern "[[:space:]]|[[:punct:]]"
    • convert2lower: Boolean, TRUE if words should be converted to lower case before the word table is computed. Default is TRUE
    • keep.nums: Boolean, TRUE if words containing numbers should be kept in the word table. Default is FALSE
  • Output: list, containing word table, and then some basic numeric summaries
c 复制代码 
get.wordtab.from.url = function(str.url, 
                                split="[[:space:]]|[[:punct:]]",
                                convert2lower=TRUE, keep.nums=FALSE) {
  lines = readLines(str.url)
  text = paste(lines, collapse=" ")
  words = strsplit(text, split=split)[[1]]
  words = words[words != ""]
  
  # Convert to lower case, if we're asked to
  if (convert2lower) {
    words = tolower(words)
  }
  
  # Get rid of words with numbers, if we're asked to
  if (!keep.nums) {
    words = grep("[0-9]", words, invert=TRUE, value=TRUE)
  }
  
  # Compute the word table
  wordtab = table(words)
  return(list(wordtab=wordtab,
              number.unique.words=length(wordtab),
              number.total.words=sum(wordtab),
              longest.word=words[which.max(nchar(words))]))
}
c 复制代码 
# King's "I Have A Dream" speech 
king.wordtab = get.wordtab.from.url(
  "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/king.txt")
lapply(king.wordtab, head)

## $wordtab
## words
## a able again ago ahead alabama
## 37 8 2 1 1 3
##
## $number.unique.words
## [1] 528
##
## $number.total.words
## [1] 1631
##
## $longest.word
## [1] "discrimination"

2、Side effects

A side effect of a function is something that happens as a result of the function's body, but is not returned. Examples:

  • Printing something out to the console
  • Plotting something on the display
  • Saving an R data file, or a PDF, etc.

Example of side effect: plot

  • get.wordtab.from.url: get a word table from text on the web
  • Inputs :
    • str.url: string, specifying URL of a web page
    • split: string, specifying what to split on. Default is the regex pattern "[[:space:]]|[[:punct:]]"
    • convert2lower: Boolean, TRUE if words should be converted to lower case before the word table is computed. Default is TRUE
    • keep.nums: Boolean, TRUE if words containing numbers should be kept in the word table. Default is FALSE
    • plot.hist: Boolean, TRUE if a histogram of word lengths should be plotted as a side effect. Default is FALSE
  • Output: list, containing word table, and then some basic numeric summaries
c 复制代码 
get.wordtab.from.url = function(str.url, split="[[:space:]]|[[:punct:]]",
                                convert2lower=TRUE, keep.nums=FALSE, plot.hist=FALSE) {
  lines = readLines(str.url)
  text = paste(lines, collapse=" ")
  words = strsplit(text, split=split)[[1]]
  words = words[words != ""]
  
  # Convert to lower case, if we're asked to
  if (convert2lower) words = tolower(words)
  
  # Get rid of words with numbers, if we're asked to
  if (!keep.nums) 
    words = grep("[0-9]", words, invert=TRUE, value=TRUE)
  
  # Plot the histogram of the word lengths, if we're asked to
  if (plot.hist) 
    hist(nchar(words), col="lightblue", breaks=0:max(nchar(words)),
         xlab="Word length")
  
  # Compute the word table
  wordtab = table(words)
  
  return(list(wordtab=wordtab,
              number.unique.words=length(wordtab),
              number.total.words=sum(wordtab),
              longest.word=words[which.max(nchar(words))]))
}
c 复制代码 
# King's speech
king.wordtab = get.wordtab.from.url(
  str.url="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mxcai/BIOS5801/main/data/king.txt",
  plot.hist=TRUE)

三、Environments and design

1、Environment: what the function can see and do

  • Each function generates its own environment
  • Variable names in function environment override names in the global environment
  • Internal environment starts with the named arguments
  • Assignments inside the function only change the internal environment
  • Variable names undefined in the function are looked for in the global environment

2、Environment examples

  • Variable names here override names in the global environment

    • y is 2 in the global environment
    • y is 10 in the function environment, and only exists when the function is under execution

  • Variable assignments inside the function environment would (generally) not change the variable in the global environment

    • x remains to be 1 in the global environment
c 复制代码 
x <- 1
y <- 2
addone = function(y) { 
  x = 1+y
  x 
}
addone(10)
## [1] 11

y
## [1] 2

x
## [1] 1
  • Variable names undefined in the function are looked for in the global environment
c 复制代码 
circle.area = function(r) { pi*r^2 }
circle.area(1:3)
## [1] 3.141593 12.566371 28.274334

true.pi = pi # to back up the sanity
pi = 3 
circle.area(1:3)
## [1] 3 12 27

pi = true.pi # Restore sanity
circle.area(1:3)
## [1] 3.141593 12.566371 28.274334
