"Error in <function(x)> : object'<x>' not found"

[Khal_Drogo]

I have defined a simple function:

function1<-function(x){if (X<0) {-x} else {x}}

When attempting to call it with an argument, i.e.:

function1(1)

R yields:

"Error in function1(1) : object 'x' not found"

What is wrong? How it can be corrected?

P.S. Before calling the function I have been also trying to assign in a seperate line of the code a value to the x, nevertheless the result has been the same, although the x is listed in the "Global Environment" panel in the R Studio.

R is case sensitive, and you are using X and x in your code as if they were the same.

It works now. Thank you.

FAQ: How do I mark a solution?

If your question has been answered, don't forget to mark the solution! How do I mark a solution? Find the reply you want to mark as the solution and look for the row of small gray icons at the bottom of that reply. Click the one that looks like a box with a checkmark in it: [image] Hovering over the mark solution button shows the label, "Select if this reply solves the problem". If you don't see the mark solution button, try clicking the three dots button ( ••• ) to expand the full set of options. When a solution is chosen, the icon turns green and the hover label changes to: "Unselect if this reply no longer solves the problem". Success! [solution_reply_author] …
