I'm guessing this is supposed to appear as:

getwd()[1] "C:/RProgramming"
> dir()[1] "forCondition.R"  "ifCondition.R"   "mycode.R"        "nestedForLoop.R"
[5] "whileLoop.R"

Error in second(4) : unused argument (4)

R seems to be saying that the `second` function does not have any arguments in its formals. If you think this error message is not describing the reality of your code, then why did you not provide the code????

R told you. You gave it too many arguments. I seriously doubt this has anything to do with the upgrade. This is not a behavior that changed in R 3.1.2
