[R] Help with functions - printing a variables name

[Evan Kransdorf]

Hello Everyone,

I was wondering if someone could help me implement a function in R.

I want to pass a vector x to my function, peform some math, then output the
data. However, I want the output for x to be the *name of the vector
I am *using
as input.

For example, data<-c(1,5,10)

func1<-function(x) {

y<-x^2
z<-x^3
out<-cbind(x,y,z)
return(out)
} #function

Desired output:
data, 1, 1
data, 25, 125
data, 100, 1000

Thanks very much for your help, Evan

Hello,

Maybe something like

data<-c(1,5,10)
func1<-function(x) {
nm <- deparse(substitute(x))
y<-x^2
z<-x^3
out<-data.frame(nm,y,z)
return(out)
} #function

func1(data[1])

Hope this helps,

Rui Barradas
