Is there anything wrong with using T & F instead of TRUE & FALSE?
Solution 1:
T
and F
can be re-defined, but TRUE
and FALSE
are reserved words and cannot be re-defined.
> TRUE <- 1L
Error in TRUE <- 1L : invalid (do_set) left-hand side to assignment
> FALSE <- 0L
Error in FALSE <- 0L : invalid (do_set) left-hand side to assignment
> T <- F # yikes, this would be hard to debug!
Personally, I sometimes use T
and F
when I use R interactively, but I never use them in production code or packages.
