addProperty: Add and initialize dataframe column

Description

Adds a new column of a defined type to a data.frame and initializes it to a value. The advantage of doing this over adding it with $ or [,""] is that the case nrow(o) == 0 is adequately handled and doesn't raise an error.

Usage

addProperty(o, name, type, value = NA)
"addProperty"(o, name, type, value = NA)

Arguments

o
data.frame to add the column to
name
Name of the new column
type
Data type of the new column
value
Initial value of the new column (NA if not given)

Value

Expanded data frame.

Methods (by class)

  • o = data.frame,name = character,type = character: Add a new column to a data.frame
