I get an error 
> f<-function{a=1; b=1; list(a,b)}
Error: unexpected '{' in "f<-function{"

and I wonder what do you want. 

f<- function(a=1, b=1) { list(a,b)}

f()
[[1]]
[1] 1

[[2]]
[1] 1

f(2,2)
[[1]]
[1] 2

[[2]]
[1] 2

If you do not want this so please send code example with desired output 
resul.

Regards
Petr
