Problem is, various packages have added their own apply-type functions; so what you get depends on what packages you have downloaded.

Hi, There are quiet a few different 'apply' functions, such as lapply, sapply and many more. I'm very familiar with the 'Apply' function in Mathematica. Can somebody point me a summary of all the 'apply' functions in R. Also, I'm curious that what 'l' and 's' (and other prefixes) stand for in 'lapply' and 'sapply' Regards, Peng ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list 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. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list 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.
