lintr (version 3.1.2)

inner_combine_linter: Require c() to be applied before relatively expensive vectorized functions

Description

as.Date(c(a, b)) is logically equivalent to c(as.Date(a), as.Date(b)). The same equivalence holds for several other vectorized functions like as.POSIXct() and math functions like sin(). The former is to be preferred so that the most expensive part of the operation (as.Date()) is applied only once.

Usage

inner_combine_linter()

Tags

consistency, efficiency, readability

Examples

# will produce lints
lint(
  text = "c(log10(x), log10(y), log10(z))",
  linters = inner_combine_linter()
)

# okay
lint(
  text = "log10(c(x, y, z))",
  linters = inner_combine_linter()
)

lint(
  text = "c(log(x, base = 10), log10(x, base = 2))",
  linters = inner_combine_linter()
)
