R function: lapply

Simple example

In the following example, the vector is x and the function is func. lapply thus creates a new vector that subsequently is plotted for verification:

func <- function(x) {
  if (x < 0.25) {
    return (1-4*x)
  }
  if (x < 0.50) {
    return (-1 + 4*x)
  }
  if (x < 0.75) {
    return (3 - 4*x)
  }
  return (-3 + 4*x)
}


x <- 0:20/20
y <- lapply(x, func)

X11()

plot(x, y)
lines(x,y, col='red')
