[R] Re ading Functions that are in a Vector

[trumpetsaz]

I am trying to write a function that will have an input of a vector of
functions. Here is a simplistic example.
sumstats <- c(mean,sd)
sumstats[1]
#Gives this error
#> sumstats[1]
#[[1]]
#function (x, ...) 
#UseMethod("mean")
#<environment: namespace:base>

I thought about restricting the input to character variables such as the
following
sumstats2 <- c("mean","sd")
Is there a way to change "mean" to the function mean?
