[R] Alternative to "apply" in R 3.2.2

[Bert Gunter]

Wow, you are quite confused! Have you gone through any basic R
tutorials (there are many good ones on the web), as it sure looks like
you have not and therefore have almost no idea how to use R. If that
is the case, it is unlikely that this list (or R!) is going to be much
use to you.

Anyway, apply() is a standard *built-in function* in base R. There is
NO apply package.

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.
