这失败了:
library(tidyverse)
myFn <- function(nmbr){
case_when(
nmbr > 3 ~ letters[1:3],
TRUE ~ letters[1:2]
)
}
myFn(4)
# Error: `TRUE ~ letters[1:2]` must be length 3 or one, not 2
# Run `rlang::last_error()` to see where the error occurred.

为什么会失败?为什么case_when其分支不能返回不同长度的向量?我想myFn工作,以便我可以做以下事情:
tibble(fruit = c("apple", "grape"),
count = 3:4) %>%
mutate(bowl = myFn(count)) %>%
unnest(col = "bowl")

并得到
# A tibble: 5 x 3
fruit count bowl
<chr> <int> <int>
1 apple 3 a
2 apple 3 b
3 grape 4 a
4 grape 4 b
5 grape 4 c

myFn我可以让它工作 - 通过使用编写非向量化if/else,然后将其包装在 中map,但为什么我必须这样做?
根据我的评论,您的函数需要为每一行输入返回一个元素。然而,每个元素的list长度可以为 0 或更大(以及任意复杂度)。尝试这个:
myFn <- function(nmbr){
case_when(
nmbr > 3 ~ list(letters[1:3]),
TRUE ~ list(letters[1:2])
)
}
tibble(fruit = c("apple", "grape"),
count = 3:4) %>%
mutate(bowl = myFn(count))
# # A tibble: 2 x 3
# fruit count bowl
# <chr> <int> <list>
# 1 apple 3 <chr [2]>
# 2 grape 4 <chr [3]>
tibble(fruit = c("apple", "grape"),
count = 3:4) %>%
mutate(bowl = myFn(count)) %>%
unnest(col = "bowl")
# # A tibble: 5 x 3
# fruit count bowl
# <chr> <int> <chr>
# 1 apple 3 a
# 2 apple 3 b
# 3 grape 4 a
# 4 grape 4 b
# 5 grape 4 c
