whoops; so is the choice between both a matter of style? Or is it implementation-specific for R, and not generally true for S? (I know from LISP that if using map, roughly the equivalent to S' apply instead of the do loop, you cannot rely on the elements being executed in their original order, which might buy you efficiency depending on the implementation.) ______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list https://www.stat.math.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide! http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html
