Dear R Experts that's my original equation > x=c(2,4)
> Y1=sum(sapply(1:2,function(i){sum(sapply(1:i,function(j){(3^(x[i]+x[j]))}))})) > > y1 [1] 7371 I want to write the inside function (3^(x[i]+x[j])) in a more condensed form cause this will help me when the multiple summations are more than two I've tried the following form > y2=sum(sapply(1:2,function(i){sum(sapply(1:i,function(j){(3^(sum(sapply(i:j,function(l){x[l]}))))}))})) > > y2 [1] 819 But it didn't work, it gave another solution Any help or recommendations ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
