[R] Column create and Update using function

[Rantony]

Hi,

here i have a Max and Min values
Min <-3
Max <-6
and also a matrix like this,

ABC        XYZ         PQR
------       -------        -------
2                 4                3
5                 4                8
7                 1                3

In this i need to check each particular column values are between Max and
Min value.
If the coulmn value not coming between Max and Min, then i need to create
another coulmn
by adding column name header with "_QF". and assign a string like "RC" for
that particular row.

For eg:- i need to checkout coulmn "ABC".
Here  2,5,6 are the values we need to checkout with Min,Max values. and here
Min <-3,Max <-6
First need to create a new column called "ABC_QF" with current matrix.

ABC        XYZ         PQR          ABC_QF
------       -------        -------         -----------
2                 4                3               RC
5                 4                8
7                 1                3

Next, for 5 , it coming in between 3 to 6. so nothing to do.

ABC        XYZ         PQR          ABC_QF
------       -------        -------         -----------
2                 4                3               RC
5                 4                8
7                 1                3

Next, for 7 , its not coming in between 3 to 6. so put "RC"

ABC        XYZ         PQR          ABC_QF
------       -------        -------         -----------
2                 4                3               RC
5                 4                8
7                 1                3               RC
-----------------------------------------------------------
This is the requirement. i did it using for-loop,it will check each value
and it taking time when bulk of data come.
Any hope to do using lappy,appy kind of functions ? Because at a time
complete coulmn should get update.
Could you please help me urgently ?

- Thanks
Antony.
