I've got a list of things:
thing_list <- list("thing1","thing2","thing3")
And a function that takes one thing, and produces a result
function(thing){
do operations with the thing
return(result)
}
I want to apply the function to each element in the list. And store the result in a different list.
Here is where I have the doubt:
restul_list <- lapply(things_list, function(**HOW TO REFERENCE THE CURRENT THING AS ARGUMENT**))
How can I pass each element in the list as lapply goes by, as an argument for the function.
Thank you
If we want to get
the value ( data.frame
or vector
or matrix
, etc) stored in the objects, use mget
to return a list
of object values and then loop with lapply
thing_list <- c("thing1","thing2","thing3")
lapply(mget(thing_list), yourfun)
Just do
lapply(thing_list, f)
Where f
is your function.
result_list <- lapply(things_list, function(x) thing(x))
