[R] Alternative to "apply" in R 3.2.2

[Olu Ola]

Hello,I quite understand that apply is doing what it is supposed to do. I actually found that example online. However, "apply" package is not compatible with R 3.2.2 and as a result, I could not use the code. That is why I am asking for an alternative to "apply" that can be used to do the same thing.
Regards

 Df.1$D looks correct to me. For example, in the third row, 7*2=14 is
correct with the NA removed.
