Small, friendly operators and helpers that let your R code read the way you already think it.
Which would you rather write?
| base R | roperators ← cleaner |
|---|---|
paste0(“Hi”, name, “, you have”, n)
|
f(“Hi {name}, you have {n}”)
|
c(1, NA, 3) == c(1, NA, 4)
|
c(1, NA, 3) %==% c(1, NA, 4)
|
isTRUE(all.equal(0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1, 0.3))
|
(0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1) %~=% 0.3
|
x[is.na(x)] <- 0
|
x %na<-% 0
|
ifelse(b == 0, NA, a / b)
|
a %/0% b
|
On the package site this is an interactive taste test — you pick the line you’d rather write, and it tells you if you’ve got good taste. →
All base R, zero dependencies — just operators and helpers that say what you mean. (Pronounced rop-er-ators, not r-operators.)
