title: How to call a function using the character string of the function name in R?
body: <p>I am trying to call a function with a given string of the function name.</p>
  
  <p>E.g. </p>
  
  <pre><code>print(funcList)
  [[1]]
  `*`
  
  [[2]]
  sin
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>works:</p>
  
  <pre><code>mult &lt;- `*`
  mult(5,6)
  [1] 30
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>doesn't work:</p>
  
  <pre><code>func1 &lt;- funcList[[1]]
  func1(5,6)
  
  func2 &lt;- funcList[[2]]
  func2(1.2)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>So is it possible to call all of the functions in the functionList?</p>
