higher level functions in R - is there an official compose operator or curry function?

Question

I can create a compose operator in R:

 `%c%` = function(x,y)function(...)x(y(...)) 

To be used like this:

 > numericNull         


        

Answer 1

The standard place for functional programming in R is now the functional library.

From the library:

functional: Curry, Compose, and other higher-order functions

Example:

   library(functional)
   newfunc <- Curry(oldfunc,x=5)

CRAN: https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/functional/index.html

PS: This library substitutes the ROxigen library.
