[R] inconsistency in tryCatch...

[akshay kulkarni]

Dear members,
                          I have the following code:

        > tryCatch(function() print("fred"),  error = function(e) sum(1:3), finally = sum(1:3))
         function() print("fred")

The expected output from the tryCatch call should be to print "fred" to the console, and exit, but as seen above, it is outputting
          function() print("fred")

Can you people please shed some light on what is happening?

thanking you,
Yours sincerely,
AKSHAY M KULKARNI
