Can you discuss how scoping rules apply in R functions?
- R follows lexical scoping, where functions can access objects in their enclosing environment
- R follows dynamic scoping, where functions can access objects in their calling environment
- R follows global scoping, where functions can access objects outside their environment
- R follows local scoping, where functions can only access objects within their own environment
In R, scoping rules follow lexical scoping, also known as static scoping. This means that functions can access objects in their enclosing environment, including objects defined outside the function but within the parent environment. This allows functions to access variables defined in higher-level environments.
