Is that mean while may be more effient than for in R? as i know, while and for are all just functions in R. Tks for your suggestion to not use apply that way, but i want to know, if possible, is there any way to break it ? Actually, there is a additional question: x<- c(3,4,5,6,9) sapply(x ,function(i){ foo(i) #do something to each value in x,how can i know the i's index in x? )} In my way , i always sapply(seq(x),function(i){ foo(x[i]) }) or Map( function(i,index){ foo(i) # through index to know the i's index in x },x ,seq(x))
How you solve the problem? I mean just use apply functions. -- PO SU mail: desolato...@163.com Majored in Statistics from SJTU At 2014-10-10 13:58:29, "Jeff Newmiller" <jdnew...@dcn.davis.ca.us> wrote: >Don't use apply functions if you want to do what you describe.
