Last.value
Value of Last Evaluated Expression
Description
The value of the internal evaluation of a top-level R expression is always assigned to .Last.value
(in package:base
) before further processing (e.g., printing).
Usage
.Last.value
Details
The value of a top-level assignment is put in .Last.value
, unlike S.
Do not assign to .Last.value
in the workspace, because this will always mask the object of the same name in package:base
.
