trampoline: Trampoline

In dads2busy/dataplumbr: Helpful Data Plumbing/Engineering Functions

Description

A trampoline is a function or set of functions that together give us the tools we need to write code in a recursive style, in a way that doesn't overflow the stack. Here's an awesome trampoline by Jim Hester:

Usage

trampoline(f, ...)

Arguments

f	A function.
...	Any number of named or unnamed arguments.

Examples

countdown <- trampoline(function(n) {
  if (n > 0) recur(n-1) else "done"
})
countdown(10000)
[1] "done"
