When you nest two loops, the outer loop takes. The R syntax also includes for loops, while loops, and repeat loops.

It is an entry controlled loop, in this loop the test condition is. The placing of one loop inside the body of another loop is called nesting.

It means, the for loop can be used to execute a group of statements repeatedly depending upon the number of elements in the object. Notice that %do% operator after the loop definition, I’ll talk more about it later. For loop in R Programming Language is useful to iterate over the elements of a list, dataframe, vector, matrix, or any other object. The foreach version returns a list with the results automatically.

Notice that I have to create a vector x to gather the results before executing the loop.

The foreach package (the vignette is here) provides a way to build loops that support parallel execution, and easily gather the results provided by each iteration in the loop.įor example, this classic for loop computes the square root of the numbers 1 to 5 with sqrt() (the function is vectorized, but let’s conveniently forget that for a moment).
