Continuing with our programming series, we will talk about Function – much of all that it entails. Understanding functions is important if you want to learn how to code. The same applies to ...

In modern programming, it's uncommon to see functions longer than around 100 lines of code, because by then, there's probably something that should be pulled out and made into its own function.

In other words, if I had named my function sum, it would've killed the built-in sum function that adds up the values in an array or vector. Because R has many hundreds of built-in functions, you ...

Excel might be the world's most widely used programming language; Microsoft is on a journey to turn it into a better and more powerful programming language, without losing what makes it Excel.

M4N asks:. Is there a reason why functions in most(?) programming languages are designed to support any number of input parameters but only one return value?

γδ T cells have innate cell-like attributes that allow them to rapidly produce cytokines and become cytotoxic in response to cell stress and infection. Here, the authors describe how they ...

Bash functions, unlike functions in most programming languages do not allow you to return a value to the caller. When a bash function ends its return value is its status: zero for success, non-zero ...

Goal programming Numerical example. In order to reveal the ‘mechanics’ of achievement functions, we use a simplified diet model with two foods: (1) bread and (2) meat, with associated decision ...
