Hello,
It should be easu but I cannot figure out how to use apply function.

Unless this is a homework question then using `apply` seems inefficient.
I am
trying to replace negative values in an array with these values + 24.
Would appreciate help. Thanks,
Mark

shours <- apply(fhours, function(x){if (x < 0) x <- x+24})
Error in match.fun(FUN) : argument "FUN" is missing, with no default

You should not use the assignment operator in the expression that forms the consequent for `ifelse`. (Furthermore apply takes three arguments and you only have two.)

Vectorize:

mat1<-matrix(sample(-10:10,40,replace=TRUE),ncol=5)

 mat1[mat1 < 0] <- mat1[mat1 < 0]+24
 mat1
     [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [,5]
[1,]    2    4   23    1    0
[2,]   18    7   10    3   16
[3,]   10   16   16   16    0
[4,]    3    3    6   17    3
[5,]   21    0    6    9   16
[6,]   10    4    6    0    0
[7,]    7    8   21    0   20
[8,]   19    7   15   19    5
