<vincent>Trying to reduce my for loops addiction,
<vincent>could somebody tell me if there are ways to simplify
<vincent>(and perhaps accelerate ?) the following line
<vincent>
<vincent>for (i in 1:N) for (j in 1:N) m[i,j] = b[i]-b[j];
<vincent>
<vincent>(where m is a NxN matrix and b a vector of length N)
<vincent>
<vincent>Thanks for any hint.
