Hello,
I am trying to test a function argument to see if it is or is not a useful
number. However I cannot seem to find a test that works. For example
> f = function(x) {
+ print(exists("x"))
+ print(is.null(x))
+ }
>rm(x)
> f(z)
[1] TRUE
Error in print(is.null(x)) : Object "z" not found
exists gives TRUE, but then any other kind of test I try to run gives me an
error. I need a test for existence that will work inside a function.
