[R] Creating functions with a loop.

[R. Michael Weylandt]

You can do what you want with the get() and assign() functions, though
it might be easier and better to use match.fun() than get()

Much better though would be to build your functions in a list and call
the n-th element of the list with syntax like

f.list[[3]](4)

will call the function in the third element of the list with argument 4.

Best,
Michael
