[R] Fwd: alternative way to define a function

[Martin Møller Skarbiniks Pedersen]

By reading some code today I have just discovered an alternative way to
define a function:
f <- \(x, y) x * y

Is that exactly the same as:
f <- function(x,y) x * y
?

Is there any benefit to the first or second way to define a function?

Regards
Martin
