[R] using functions with multiple arguments in the "apply" family

[casalott]

I can actually answer this!!  I was trying to figure out how to use sapply
for a function I wrote with multiple arguments.
Suppose the function is called
FUN(a,b), where "a" is a number and "b" is a number
You can use mapply(FUN, a = VECTOR, b = VECTOR) where each vector is your
input arguments.  It will output a vector or a matrix (depending on the
output of your function).

This will also work:
mapply(FUN, a = VECTOR, b = NUMBER) and will apply your function with each
element of "a" but the same argument for "b" each time.

Let me know if it works!
