[R] R Programming help needed - Returning dataframes + 2 Variables dynamically

[Bert Gunter]

You really really need to stop posting and spend some time with a good
R tutorial or two (there are many good ones on the web). While this
list can certainly provide you some help, it cannot and is not meant
to substitute for you doing such basic homework on your own.

At least IMHO.

Cheers,
Bert

Two return statements within a function are redundant because the function will exit after the first return statement, and anything else just creates more ambiguity. If you want to return the x y variables as well, you should use a list like so, list(test_data, x, y) and then retrieve information from the list like this Boo[[1]].....

So, if you called Logic_fn(y,x), then y will be assigned to x and x to y. So to avoid such a scenario you can mention it explicitly as Logic_fn(y=y,x=x).
