Hello Petr,
> but I think this is how your code really works. Did you try it?
it does, but the R documentation says somewhere:
"Warning: for() loops are used in R code much less often than in
compiled languages. Code that takes a `whole object' view is likely to
be both clearer and faster in R."
So I am wondering in what way the "whole object view" could be applied
to my function.
Best regards,
