r.xyz isn't working anymore? (R Project)

I am a beginner to Sage but I used to work with R. I know that I can create a R syntax cell by putting %r at the beginning of the cell. But there are a lot of examples which use the r.xyz syntax (for example: x = r([10.4,5.6,3.1,6.4,21.7]); x). But none of these examples work for me, what am I doing wrong?

We need much more information to understand your problem. Which version of Sage were you using before it failed? Was it Sage on your computer or online? Was it the Sage notebook or Jupyter?

+1 with Vincent. What did you type precisely to get an error ? On latest Sage version, i have:

sage: x = r([10.4,5.6,3.1,6.4,21.7]); 
sage: x
[1] 10.4  5.6  3.1  6.4 21.7

Thanks for reporting this bug. This bug is now tracked at https://github.com/sagemathinc/cocalc/issues/2564 .

Hello, the r in CoCalc's Sage Worskheets is different from the r in Sage itself. The reason is that %r at the top of a cell launches the execution in an R jupyter kernel. Different philosophy altogether.

However, you can do r = R() in a sagews which creates and defines the same R-interpreter r.

r = R()
r.summary(r([1,2,3,2]))

When Sage starts, r is predefined as the R interpreter.

(Edit: this does not seem to be the case in CoCalc.)

In a new Sage session, with r predefined as above, the following works:

sage: r
R Interpreter
sage: x = r([10.4,5.6,3.1,6.4,21.7]); x
[1] 10.4  5.6  3.1  6.4 21.7

If in such a Sage session we assign some other value to r, then it stops working (of course).

sage: r = 2
sage: r
2
sage: x = r([10.4,5.6,3.1,6.4,21.7]); x
Traceback (most recent call last)
...
TypeError: 'sage.rings.integer.Integer' object is not callable

If we reset r, then it works again.

sage: reset('r')
sage: r
R Interpreter
sage: x = r([10.4,5.6,3.1,6.4,21.7]); x
[1] 10.4  5.6  3.1  6.4 21.7

To set r to be the R interpreter, whether the Sage being used predefines r that way or not, use:

sage: from sage.interfaces.r import r

In a Sage session where r was initially the R interpreter, but was then redefined to be something else, this can also be used, instead of reset('r'), to restore r as the R interpreter.

Thank you for your answer. I am using Sage via CoCalc. When I open a new Sage worksheet and type:

r

x = r([10.4,5.6,3.1,6.4,21.7]); x

I get:

<function r="" at="" 0x7fd8f6b5f5f0="">

Ok, when I use https://sagecell.sagemath.org/ it works perfectly fine.

Please click "help" at the very top of your cocalc worksheet and explain your problem there. The CoCalc team will be able to see the worksheet where you are having problem and to help you out.
