[R] How to write out this regression equation in R?

[Jeff Newmiller]

But sprintf is itself vectorized. If you give it vectors, it returns vectors. So you could obtain that apply-result more efficiently by passing a bunch of column vectors of data. There happens to be a convenient object called a data frame that holds a bunch of similar-length vectors.

DF <- data.frame( m=c(1,2), b=c(-3,4) )
result <- sprintf( "y=(%d)*x+(%d)", DF$m, DF$b)
cat(paste(result, collapse="\n"))
