Hi,
My english isn't briliant and my problem is very dificult to descripe but I
try ;)
My first question is: May I write loop "for" like this or similar - for (i in sth : sth[length(sth)], k in sth else : length(sth else) ) - I'd like
to have two independent conditions in the same loop "for".

Pretty sure the language has not accommodated you for that wish yet. You are going to need extra inner "{for"'s and another closing "}"'s. That does not seem like a very large barrier to surmount.

Side question/whinge: where did the convention arise to use "sth" as an abbreviation? I am a native English-speaker and it still confuses me every time I see it. Why not just use "obj" or "item" or .....? I keep thinking it has to do with a sequence of s-numbered things. (And of course "sth else" got R-parsed as a logical construction.)

In R you probably want to use seq_along(e3) anyway, rather than obj[1]:obj[length(obj)]

?seq_along

> e3 <- c(1,2,4)
> for (i in seq_along(e3) ) print(letters[e3[i]])
[1] "a"
[1] "b"
[1] "d"

My secound question depend on program below. I'd like to write every result in matrix but I also want to call my function "odleg" use vector "e3" -
exactly using values which are inside.

Can anyone please guide me, how to do that?
Thanks

## Function
odleg <- function (Xa,Xb,Ya,Yb){
d <- ((Xa-Xb)^2+(Ya-Yb)^2)^(1/2)
return (d)
}

# Database
ma=matrix(c(0.51139630,-0.12937287, 0.19530080,
0.02273691 ,-0.43634186 ,-0.01717149,-0.27597035,-0.41732933,-0.15476464,-0.15692965),nrow
= 5, ncol=2)

untested mods: presumably "me1" has already been defined somewhere else?

e3<- c(1,2,4)

for (i in seq_along(e3) {
                    for (k in seq_along(e3) ) {
for (j in seq_along(e3)] {
                    for (l in seq_along(e3) ){

me1[k,l] = odleg
(nepitabds$points[e3[i],1], nepitabds$points[e3[j],1], nepitabds $points[e3[i],2], nepitabds$points[e3[j],2])
}}}}


The concern I see with the last part of above code is that nepithabds $points will need to be a matrix or list that responds properly to [n,m] extraction. Is it? That would be possible as I understand the rules of data.frames and lists, but it is a bit unusual.
