Q&A How can I assign the result of an operation from within a function to the global environment?

You need to assign the result to a variable as follows (pay attention to the double less than sign) meanFUN <- function(x) { gvar <<- mean(x, na.rm = TRUE) }

  • You need to assign the result to a variable as follows:
  • meanFUN <- function(x) {
  • gvar **<<-** mean(x, na.rm = TRUE)
  • }
