Why is there a dot in ".*"? Are you perhaps thinking of Matlab?

For reference, there's very little benefit to removing loops in a
compiled language. What Martyn said is exactly correct - it's your
responsibility to understand the difference between an interpreted
language like R and a compiled language like C++.
Some rules of thumb:
* In both R and C++, avoid unnecessary memory allocations.
* In R, minimize the number of distinct function calls.
- A single function call: val = sum(1:10)
- 10 function calls: val = 0; for (ii in 1:10) { val = val + ii}
