Infix and Postfix Logic Operators.
postlogic
The goal of postlogic is to allow natural flowing logic statements.
Installation
You can install the released version of postlogic from CRAN with:
install.packages("postlogic")
If/Otherwise
The if/otherwise instruction allows for simple logic to follow a statement to make it conditional. The %if%
can be used alone to make an action conditional.
verbose <- TRUE
message("Hello there") %if% verbose
#> Hello there
When combined with the %otherwise%
statement it allows for an alternate.
mood <- "calm"
message("How dare you!") %if% (mood == 'angry') %otherwise%
message("Everything is fine.")
#> Everything is fine.
mood <- 'angry'
message("How dare you!") %if% (mood == 'angry') %otherwise%
message("Everything is fine.")
#> How dare you!
Unless/Then
The %unless%
operator is essentially the negation of %if%
. So when a statement is postfixed by an %unless%
statement it will happen unless the proposition returns TRUE
. The alternating operator for %unless%
is %then%
.
mood <- 'calm'
message("Everything is fine.") %unless% (mood == 'angry') %then%
message("How dare you!")
#> Everything is fine.
This example is the same effect as the statements in the previous example.
