Hello, R users.
I have the following code:

a=1:10
b=-3:15
n=5
x <- rep(0,n)
for (i in 1:n) x[i] <- sum( outer(a,b, function(s,t)  abs(a-b-i)==0) )

You don't seem to be doing anything with s and t? Did you mean:

for (i in 1:n) x[i] <- sum( outer(a,b, function(s,t)  abs(s-t-i) == 0) )



Can someone tell me if I could avoid the for command?
Perhaps with the guess above:

> x <- sapply(1:n, function(i) { sum( outer(a,b, function(s,t) {abs(s-t-i)==0 } )) } )
> x
[1] 10 10 10 10  9



Thank you in advance.


Does your code actually run in 2,9.0?

(I'm still using using 2.8.1)

If this isn't useful, then perhaps you should tell us what problem you are trying to solve.
