[R] Filling matrix elements with a function

[jim holtman]

Try this if you want a matrix of functions:


> # define matrix of list()
> x <- vector('list', 25)
> dim(x) <- c(5,5)
> f.1 <- function(x) x * x
> x[[1,1]] <- f.1
> x[[2,2]] <- f.1
> # call the functions
> x[[2,2]](42)
[1] 1764
> x[[1,1]](3)
[1] 9
