R help - Jul 2005 - Generate a function

hi all,

I need to generate a function inside a loop:

tmp is an array

for (i in 1:10)
{
func<- func * function(beta1) dweibull(tmp[i],beta1,eta)
}

because then i need to integrate this function on beta.

I could have written this :

func<-function(beta1) prod(dweibull(tmp,beta1,eta)) (with eta and beta1 set)

but it is unplottable and no integrable... i could make it a bit different but
if i do that ( prod(tmp)=~Inf ) i'm stuck.

I've looked in R-poetry and i didn't find anything usefull.

I think i have a problem with how i tell R my function is, R seems to think it
is a function like programmers do but not a f(x) function.

Thks

Well, a 1-d array, or better say a vector of length 10, given the code 
below is correct.

Please specify a reproducible example (as the posting guide asks to do), 
that means including the values for tmp, beta1 and eta.
Then we might be able to explain where you have your problems.
