[R] variable scope

[Sam Steingold]

At the end of a for loop its variables are still present:

for (i in 1:10) {
  x <- vector(length=100000000)
}
ls()

will print "i" and "x".
this means that at the end of the for loop body I have to write

  rm(x)
  gc()

is there a more elegant way to handle this?

Thanks.
