Lapply is not a vectorized function. It is compact to read, but it would not be worth using for this calculation. However, if your data frame had multiple color columns in your data frame that you wanted to make responses for then you might want to use lapply as a more compact version of a for loop to repeat this operation. colordata2 <- data.frame(id = c(1,2,3,4,5), color1 = c("blue", "red", "green", "blue", "orange"), color2 = c("orange", "green", "blue", "red", "red")) responses <- lapply( colordata2[ -1 ], function(col) { ifelse(col == 'blue', 1, 0) } ) names(responses) <- names( colordata2 )[-1] where each of the columns other than the first is handed in turn to the anonymous function that does the response calculation. The result is a data frame (list of columns) with no column names, so I give the new columns names based on the old column names. You could choose different names, e.g. names(responses) <- paste0( "response", 1:2 ) but you have to be careful to fix that code whenever you change the colordata2 data frame to have more columns. -- Sent from my phone.

If you are not using an anonymous function and say you had written the function out The below gives me the error > 'f(colordata2$color1)' is not a function, character or symbol' But then how is the anonymous function working? f <- function(col){ ifelse(col == 'blue', 1, 0) } responses <- lapply(colordata2[ -1 ], f(colordata2$color1) ) 'f(colordata2$color1)' is not a function, character or symbol' then how could you then use this fuction in lapply if not for the anonymous function?

Hi The question does not make much sense so as your code. Maybe you shall spend some time with R tutorials. 1. lapply or sapply is basically hidden cycle 2. function shall return something, yours does not So if you want some binary outcome from a vector you can use e.g. f <- function(vector, token) { response <- vector==token response } So with your colordata> colordataid color 1 1 blue 2 2 red 3 3 green 4 4 blue 5 5 orange You can get this> colordata$result <- f(colordata$color, "blue") > colordataid color result 1 1 blue TRUE 2 2 red FALSE 3 3 green FALSE 4 4 blue TRUE 5 5 orange FALSE or if you insist on numbers you can transfer it easily.> colordata$result*1[1] 1 0 0 1 0 But why do you want to use lapply or sapply is a mystery to me. Do you have several columns and you want to use same function to those columns? This is probably the only case I can think of using lapply with such function. Or you want to change each colour name to some corresponding number? If column colour is a factor it already consists from unique numbers (as I mentioned in previous response). Maybe you shall use dput(yourdata) output together with desired result to help us better understand your task.
