8.6 does not work for me

[brobr]

Hi, the approach of:

setup <- function(deck) {
  DECK <- deck

  DEAL <- function() {
    card <- deck[1, ]
    assign("deck", deck[-1, ], envir = globalenv())
    card
  }

  SHUFFLE <- function(){
    random <- sample(1:52, size = 52)
    assign("deck", DECK[random, ], envir = globalenv())
 }

 list(deal = DEAL, shuffle = SHUFFLE)
}

cards <- setup(deck)

gives at my end an ogoing deal() output of 1 king spades 13.
I do not understand why this happens (on R4.3.3 on Slackware64 linux with RStudio 2023.12.1 Build 402).

My unsuccessful run:

I only got this to work with changing all calls to refer to the setup-environment; not the global one. With an extra function STOCK that returns the current state of the used deck one can see what happens after SHUFFLE and DEAL...

#> deckj <- deck
> setup2 <- function(deckj){
+   DECK <- deckj
+ 
+   DEAL <- function(){
+     card <- DECK[1, ]
+     assign("DECK", DECK[-1, ], envir = parent.env(environment()))
+     card
+   }
+ 
+   SHUFFLE <- function(){
+     random <- sample(1:52, size = 52)
+     assign("DECK", deckj[random, ], envir = parent.env(environment()))
+   }
+ 
+   STOCK <- function(){
+     DECK
+   }
+ 
+   list(deal2 = DEAL, shuffle2 = SHUFFLE, stock2 = STOCK)
+ }
> cards2 <- setup2(deck)
> cards2
$deal2
function(){
    card <- DECK[1, ]
    assign("DECK", DECK[-1, ], envir = parent.env(environment()))
    card

Trying the original setup again:

The original decki is returned after deal(), not the shuffled one...
