Apply Function to Pair of Arrays with Broadcasting
Description
The bcapply() function applies a function to 2 arrays element-wise with broadcasting.
Usage
bcapply(x, y, f, ...)
## S4 method for signature 'ANY'
bcapply(x, y, f, v = NULL)
Arguments
x, y
|
conformable atomic or recursive arrays. |
f
|
a function that takes in exactly 2 arguments, and returns a result that can be stored in a single element of a recursive or atomic array. |
…
|
further arguments passed to or from methods. |
v
|
either NULL, or single string, giving the scalar type for a single iteration. If NULL (default) or “list”, the result will be a recursive array. If it is certain that, for every iteration, f() always results in a single atomic scalar, the user can specify the type in v to pre-allocate the result. Pre-allocating the results leads to slightly faster and more memory efficient code. NOTE: Incorrectly specifying v leads to undefined behaviour; when unsure, leave v at its default value.
|
Value
An atomic or recursive array with dimensions bc_dim(x, y).
