"Error: could not find function" within function in R

Question

I wrote a function:

funct1<-function(input1,input2,input3){
  ...
}

which uses another function, funct2, i.e. funct2 is within funct1. Their codes are stored in two different files inside the same directory; respectively: funct1.R and funct2.R.

I've got the following error when launching funct1:

Error: could not find function "funct2"

How can I solve it?

source("funct1.R") and source("funct2.R"), or you could make a package.. — RLave

You need to make sure you load the script for funct2 before you try and use it in funct1. Like RLave has said in his comment use source("path_to/funct2.R"). You can put this within funct1 or at the top of your script for funct1.
