Hello. I have a 4 dimensional array and I want to fill in the slots with
values which are a function of the inputs. Through searching the forums here
I found that the function "outer" is helpful for 2x2 matrices but cannot be
applied to general multidimensional arrays. Is there anything which can
achieve, more efficiently than the following code, the job I want?

K <- array(0,dim=c(2,2,2,2)) #dimensions will be much larger
for(x1 in 1:2)
{
  for(y1 in 1:2)
  {
    for(x2 in 1:2)
    {
      for(y2 in 1:2)
      {
        K[x1,y1,x2,y2] <- x1*y2 - sin(x2*y1) #this is just a dummy function.
      }   
    }
  }
}

Thank you in advance for any help.
