Hi, If you check ?str() str(zseq) #List of 6 # $ : int [1:19] 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 ... # $ : int [1:20] 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 ... # $ : int [1:21] 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 ... # $ : int [1:22] 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 ... # $ : int [1:23] 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 ... # $ : int [1:24] 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 ... # - attr(*, "dim")= int [1:2] 2 3
Can access each list element by: zseq[[1]] # [1] 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 #Integer is the class and 19, 20, 21,... are the total number of elements lapply(zseq,unlist) [[1]] [1] 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 [[2]] [1] 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 [[3]] [1] 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 [[4]] [1] 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 [[5]] [1] 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 [[6]] [1] 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 A.K. ----- Original Message ----- From: David Epstein <david.epst...@warwick.ac.uk> To: r-help@r-project.org Cc: Sent: Monday, September 2, 2013 11:42 AM Subject: [R] Meaning of "Integer,19" I tried example('apply'). Among the various examples, there was the following: apply> z <- array(1:24, dim = 2:4) apply> zseq <- apply(z, 1:2, function(x) seq_len(max(x))) apply> zseq ## a 2 x 3 matrix [,1] [,2] [,3] [1,] Integer,19 Integer,21 Integer,23 [2,] Integer,20 Integer,22 Integer,24 The entry "Integer,19" seems to mean the list of integers [1:19], though I'm just guessing. Possibly it means some list of 19 integers. Questions: Is the notation "Integer,19" documented somewhere? I can't find it. How might one proceed to find out the meaning of this notation if one didn't know it before? The actual substance of my question is a request for advice on how, in general, to look for documentation in R. I know about help.start(), help.search() and RSiteSearch(). Also, I know how to search the archives of r-help. Are there other methods of searching R that I should try? Usually I get more hits than I can cope with.
