Question

How do you use named arguments in R function calls?

Answer 1

In R, you can use named arguments when calling a function to specify the value for a particular argument, regardless of its position. This can make the code more readable and less error-prone. 

Here's an example:

multiply_numbers <- function(a, b) {
  product <- a * b
  return(product)
}

result <- multiply_numbers(b = 5, a = 3)
print(result)  # Output: 15
