checkFunction {checkmate}R Documentation

Check if an argument is a function

Description

Check if an argument is a function

Usage

checkFunction(x, args = NULL, ordered = FALSE)

assertFunction(x, args = NULL, ordered = FALSE, .var.name)

testFunction(x, args = NULL, ordered = FALSE)

Arguments

x

[any]
Object to check.

args

[character]
Expected formal arguments. Checks that a function has no arguments if set to character(0). Default is NULL (no check).

ordered

[logical(1)]
Flag whether the arguments provided in args must be the first length(args) arguments of the function in the specified order. Default is FALSE.

.var.name

[character(1)]
Name for x. Defaults to a heuristic to determine the name using deparse and substitute.

Value

Depending on the function prefix: If the check is successful, all functions return TRUE. If the check is not successful, assertFunction throws an error message, testFunction returns FALSE and checkFunction returns a string with the error message.
