Declaring a Const Variable in R

Question

I\'m working in R, and I\'d like to define some variables that I (or one of my collaborators) cannot change. In C++ I\'d do this:

const std::string path( \"/         


        

Answer 1

Since you are planning to distribute your code to others, you could (should?) consider to create a package. Create within that package a NAMESPACE. There you can define variables that will have a constant value. At least to the functions that your package uses. Have a look at Tierney (2003) Name Space Management for R
