R: += (plus equals) and ++ (plus plus) equivalent from c++/c#/java, etc.?

Question

Does R have a concept of += (plus equals) or ++ (plus plus) as c++/c#/others do?

Answer 1

We released a package, roperators, to help with this kind of thing. You can read more about it here: https://happylittlescripts.blogspot.com/2018/09/make-your-r-code-nicer-with-roperators.html

install.packages('roperators')
require(roperators)

x <- 1:3
x %+=% 1; x
x %-=% 3; x
y <- c('a', 'b', 'c')
y %+=% 'text'; y
y %-=% 'text'; y

# etc
