[R] The end of Matlab

Greetings! I come to R by way of Matlab. One feature in Matlab I miss is its "end" keyword. When you put "end" inside an indexing expression, it is interpreted as the length of the variable along the dimension being indexed. For example, if the same feature were implemented in R: my.vector[5:e

Re: [R] How can I access the list argument within a "for" function call

It looks to me like what I want to do isn't possible. I've been reading the "R Language Definition" manual more, and have realized that the "for" function is a .Primitive, not an enclosure. This means that its arguments are passed by value, so I don't think it is possible to access them from wit

Re: [R] How can I access the list argument within a "for" function call

I'm sorry if I wasn't clear before... Although it is hidden syntactically, a for-loop construct is implemented by a call to the "for" function: "for"(var, list, expr) ...where var is the iteration variable, list is the sequence of values assigned to var on successive iterations, and expr is the

[R] How can I access the list argument within a "for" function call

Greetings, I have been playing around with the R/Parallel package, which can farm out the computation of a for-loop among multiple worker processes. Each worker gets a chunk of the for-loop iterations; for example, if you have two workers and for(x in 1:1000){...}, one worker would typically g
