[R] How to eliminate this for loop ?

[Bert Gunter]

Erich:

(Assuming this is correct), this is very nice. However, I just wanted
to point out that if you look at the code for Reduce, you'll find it's
implemented with for loops. So the OP's original version using a for
loop is likely to be faster (just as it's likely to be faster than my
actual recursive version).

Cheers,
Bert
