Try this:
lapply(1:n, rnorm)
That has nothing to do with what the inquirer *asked*.
probably because it's not what the inquirer knew he *should* have
asked.
it does solve the task he used as an example in a way far better then
the imperative-style sequence of assignments (no intention to
criticize
your intro to lists, just that it should not be taken as a generally
superior solution). and it can probably be used as a pattern for the
real problem he wanted to solve.
The inquirer gave that example ***as an example***. Clearly just a toy
example which may well have had nothing to do with what he really wanted
to accomplish. His question was about the general task of creating a
list and sequentially assigning values to entries of the list, a task
the execution of which is often required, and which in general has
nothing
at all to do with the use of lapply().
cheers,
