I have a question regarding accessing the names of list
components when applying a function with lapply.
Here is an example that demonstrates what I'd like to do.
I have a list like this one:
mylist <- list(a=letters[1:10], b=letters[10:1], c=letters[1:3])
Now I would like to append the names of the list components to their
corresponding vectors with the c() function. I thought this could
be done like in the following command, but it doesn't:
lapply(mylist, function(x) { c(names(x), x) } )
I know how to do this in a for loop, but lapply runs so much faster over
large lists.
Any help on this simple problem will be highly appreciated.
