Note: This R package is not mean to be “serious”. It’s just for teaching purposes.

powers

This is an R package that gives sqrt() friends by providing other power functions.

Installation

You can install powers from github with:

# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("vincenzocoia/powers")

Example

See the vignette for more extensive use, but here’s an example:

powers::reciprocal(2)
#> [1] 0.5

For Developers

(Again, I don’t actually intend for anyone to develop this silly package, but if I did, here’s what I’d write.)

Use the internal pow function as the machinery for the front-end functions such as square, cube, and reciprocal.
