[R] Loop avoidance in simulating a vector

All, I'd like to simulate a vector that is formed from many distinct distributions and avoid a loop if possible. E.g, consider: mu = c(1, 2, 3) sigma = c(1, 2, 3) n = c(10, 10, 10) And we simulate a vector of length 30 that consists of N(mu[i], sigma[i]) distributed data, each of length n[i]
