Hi,

you are feeding lapply "i" as an optional argument, which is passed to fn() and causes an error. Just use lapply(1:4, fn), or better yet, sapply,

> fn <- function(i) return(i^2)
> sapply(1:4, fn)
[1]  1  4  9 16

Hope this helps,

baptiste

I have written following codes, with intention to get a list with values
1,2,9,16 :

fn <- function(i) return(i^2)
lapply(1:4, fn, i)

However I got following error :
Error in FUN(1:4[[1L]], ...) : unused argument(s) (1)

Can anyone please tell me what will be the correct code here?

Regards,
