Dear all I would like to ask you if an assignment can be done inside a lapply statement.
For example I would like to covert a double nested for loop for (i in c(1:dimx)){ for (j in c(1:dimy)){ Powermap[i,j] <- Pr(c(i,j),c(PRX,PRY),f) } } to something like that: ij<-expand.grid(i=seq(1:dimx),j=(1:dimy)) unlist(lapply(1:nrow(ij),function(rowId) { return (Powermap[i,j]<-Pr(c(ij$i[rowId],ij$j[rowId]),c(PRX,PRY),f)) })) as you can see lapply does not return nothing as the assignment is done inside the function. Would that work correctly? What are the cases such a statement will misfunction? I would like to thank you in advace for your help.
