Re: [R] seq argument along.with

Hello, A good example of a use case of seq_along is to avoid constructs such as 1:length(x) that don't make sense and are a source for bugs whenever x is of length zero. See for instance loops where careless coders do for(i in 1:length(x)){ x[i] <- some computation } If x is of lengt

Re: [R] seq argument along.with

Have you ever used the seq_along() function? If you want to delegate the decision of how many elements you want to process to some earlier point in your (or someone else's) code, then the most logical way to create a result vector that is the same size as some input vector, even if that vector
