Hi Guys

Thank you for clearing something I dint know. Just wondering the
reason of putting the word function(x)  in the apply function when we
have already declared stats function separately.

I better understand how the arguments are passed.

Thanks!

That's creating a *new* function, one without a name, that basically "breaks up" the x argument into two values, and passes those along with the third argument and passes these to your stats function. You either have to write stats to accept two arguments, or leave stats accepting three arguments and use this method.
