## broadcasterbroadcaster
Check or Set if an Array is a Broadcaster
Description
broadcaster() checks if an array or vector has the "broadcaster" attribute.
bcr() is a short-hand alias for broadcaster().
broadcaster()<- (or bcr()<-) sets or un-sets the class attribute "broadcaster" on an array or vector.
mbroadcasters() sets or un-sets multiple objects in an environment as broadcaster.
The broadcaster class attribute exists purely to overload the arithmetic, Boolean, bit-wise, and relational infix operators, to support broadcasting.
This makes mathematical expressions with multiple variables, where precedence may be important, far more convenient.
Like in the following calculation:
x / (y + z)
See broadcast_operators for more information.
Usage
broadcaster(x)
broadcaster(x) <- value
mbroadcasters(nms, value, env = NULL)
bcr(x)
bcr(x) <- value
Arguments
x
|
object to check or set. Only S3 vectors and arrays are supported, and only up to 16 dimensions. |
value
|
set to TRUE to make an array a broadcaster, or FALSE to remove the broadcaster class attribute from an array.
|
nms
|
a character vector of variable names. |
env
|
