One option is mapply(), e.g., mylist <- list("v1"=c(1,2,2,1), "v2"=c(2,2,2,1), "v3"=c(1,1,1,1)) myvector <- c(100, 10000, 1000000)
mapply("*", mylist, myvector) mapply("*", mylist, myvector, SIMPLIFY = FALSE) I hope it helps. Best, Dimitris On 9/29/2011 11:43 AM, Marion Wenty wrote:
hello everybody, i have got a question about lists: i have got the following commands: mylist<- list("v1"=c(1,2,2,1),"v2"=c(2,2,2,1),"v3"=c(1,1,1,1)) myvector<- c(100,10000,1000000) now i would like to multiply each element of the list with the corresponding element of the vector, that is to say: v1*100 v2*10000 v3*1000000 i only could think of lapply which can only be used to multiply each element of the list with the same number, i think. thank you very much in advance for your help, marion [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
