thank you. yes I want to loop over the elements of the data. I want the
output to be corresponded to the input by unchanging index. at the same
time, the data that is more than c value should follow the
function (a*(data-c)^0.5)+(b*(data-c), and the rest (same or less than c)
should return a zero.  I tried adjusting the code (which is still in
ridiculous form and need some comments);

fun<-function(a,b,c,data)
{
N=rep(NA,length(data))
for (i in 1:length(data)){
if(data>c){
N[i]<-(a*(data-c)^0.5)+(b*(data-c))}
else
{N[i]<-0}
}
return(N)}

#try dummy
y=c(100,210,320,130,170,120,220,90,55,45)
try=fun(10000,0.2,150,data=y)
