This is the syntax for making a function in R:

function.name <- function(arg1, arg2, arg3=2) {
    variable = arg1 + arg2
    print(arg3)
    variable # the last line of the function is the return value in R
}

In R you can also pass an ... argument to a function indicating that the funciton can take any number of name or unnamed arguments as well in the function parameters. This is similar to Python’s *args and **kwargs parameters in funciton defining.
