R - How to avoid loop in list of files -


my current learning goal in r avoid for loops. have list files in directory (or loops through directories) perform diverse operations on files.

one example of task following: have invoke system application called cdo merge 2 files. syntax of command is, let's say: cdo merge input_file1 input_file2 output_file.

my current r code looks this:

# set lists of files u.files <- c("uas_amon_access1-3.nc", "uas_amon_cmcc-cesm.nc", "uas_amon_cmcc-cesm.nc") v.files <- c("vas_amon_access1-3.nc", "vas_amon_cmcc-cesm.nc", "vas_amon_cmcc-cesm.nc")  (i in 1:length(u.files)) {    # set input file 1 use on cdo   input1 <- paste(u.files[i], sep='')    # set input file 2 use on cdo   input2 <- paste(v.files[i], sep='')    # set output file use on cdo   output <- paste('output_', u.files[i], sep='')     # assemble command string    comm <- paste('cdo merge', input1, input2, output, collapse='')    # submit command   system(comm)  }

which works ok although not good.

however, times hear people saying for loops in r slow , should avoided as possible.

is there way avoid loops , make code more efficient/legible in cases this?

this more r-idiomatic:

u.files <- c("uas_amon_access1-3.nc", "uas_amon_cmcc-cesm.nc", "uas_amon_cmcc-cesm.nc") v.files <- c("vas_amon_access1-3.nc", "vas_amon_cmcc-cesm.nc", "vas_amon_cmcc-cesm.nc") output <- paste('output_', u.files, sep='') comm <- paste('cdo merge', u.files, v.files, output) lapply(comm,system)

remember functions vectorized in r, don't have call paste each iteration in loop. @ end obtain vector of commands , execute 1 one through lapply in last line.

c++ - Difference between pre and post decrement in recursive function argument -

i have following sample code used pre-decrement void function(int c) { if(c == 0) { return; } else { cout << "dp" << c << endl; function(--c); cout << c << endl; return; } } this function give output input 4 : dp3 dp2 dp1 dp0 0 1 2 3 but when use post decrement void function(int c) { if(c == 0) { return; } else { cout << "dp" << c << endl; function(c--); cout << c << endl; return; } } output goes in infinite loop dp4 can explain me in detail why happens ? this happens because function(c--) called same value of c , when finishes c decremented. recursively called, hence called same value no chance of return , hit stack overflow error. assume this, int x = 1, y = 0; y = x++ result y == 1 , x == 2. if y = ++x , bot x , y 2.
