rowLapply

Apply function to rows of a data frame.

Just like an lapply on data frames, but on the rows.

rowLapply(df, fun, ..., unlist = FALSE)

rowSapply(df, fun, ..., unlist = FALSE, simplify = TRUE, use.names = TRUE)

`df`	[`data.frame`] Data frame.
`fun`	[`function`] Function to apply. Rows are passed as list or vector, depending on argument `unlist`, as first argument.
`...`	[`ANY`] Additional arguments for `fun`.
`unlist`	[`logical(1)`] Unlist the row? Note that automatic conversion may be triggered for lists of mixed data types Default is `FALSE`.
`simplify`	[`logical(1)` \| character(1)] Should the result be simplified? See `sapply`. If “cols”, we expect the call results to be vectors of the same length and they are arranged as the columns of the resulting matrix. If “rows”, likewise, but rows of the resulting matrix. Default is `TRUE`.
`use.names`	[`logical(1)`] Should result be named by the row names of `df`? Default is `TRUE`.

[list or simplified object]. Length is nrow(df).

rowLapply(iris, function(x) x$Sepal.Length + x$Sepal.Width)
