CallbackFunction-class: Class "CallbackFunction" acting as an event handler or...

In omegahat/Combinations: Compute the combinations of choosing r items from n elements.

Description

The idea of this is to have a function that acts as an asynchronous event handler or a method for a mutable object in the sense of a Java, C++ or Python. We can use this as a regular function in R, but we can also use convenience functions (\$ and names) to access the environment of the function and the mutable, dynamic variables.

Objects from the Class

Objects can be created by calls of the form new("CallbackFunction", function(...) # body). These are regular function objects with the additional methods for accessing the mutable values associated with them and their environment.
