Is that mean while may be more effient than for in R? as i know, while and for
are all just functions in R.
Tks for your suggestion to not use apply that way, but i want to know, if
possible, is there any way to break it ?
Actually, there is a additional question:
x<- c(3,4,5,6,9)
sapply(x ,function(i){
foo(i) #do something to each value in x,how can i know the i's index in x?
)}
In my way , i always
sapply(seq(x),function(i){
foo(x[i])
})
or
Map( function(i,index){
foo(i) # through index to know the i's index in x
},x ,seq(x))
How you solve the problem? I mean just use apply functions.
