Developing full understanding of R functions requires understanding of environments.
|

Environments are simply a way to manage objects. An example of environments in action is that you can use a redundant variable
|
||||
name within a function, that won't be affected if the larger runtime already has the same variable. Additionally, if a
|
||||
function calls a variable not defined within the function it will check the higher level environment for that variable.

### Syntax

In R, a function definition has the following features:

|

1. The keyword `function`
|

2. a function name
|

3. input parameters (optional)
|

5. a return statement (optional)

Functions are blocks of code that can be reused simply by calling the function. This enables simple, elegent code reuse without explicitly re-writing sections of code. This makes code both more readable, makes for easier debugging, and limits typing errors.
