Hi: If you want the literal character strings, this works:
x<-c(1, 2, 3) > y<-c(4,5,6) > outer(x, y, function(x, y) paste('(', x, ',', y, ')', sep = '') ) [,1] [,2] [,3] [1,] "(1,4)" "(1,5)" "(1,6)" [2,] "(2,4)" "(2,5)" "(2,6)" [3,] "(3,4)" "(3,5)" "(3,6)" However, I have the sense you want to use the values of x and y as coordinates in a function. This is also a job for outer(); e.g., f <- function(x, y) x + 0.5 * y outer(x, y, f) [,1] [,2] [,3] [1,] 3 3.5 4 [2,] 4 4.5 5 [3,] 5 5.5 6 If you want to apply a two-dimensional function to a pair of vectors, outer() may be what you're after.
