I am trying to use cat() as functions inside apply(). I can almost make R do what I want, but I'm getting some very confusing (to me) NULLS at the end of the return. Here is a silly example, to highlight what I'm getting.
val1 <- 1:10
val2 <- 25:34
values <- data.frame(val1, val2)
apply(values, 1, function(x) cat(x[1], x[2], fill=TRUE))
This "works" in that R accepts it and it runs, but I don't understand the results.
> apply(values, 1, function(x) cat(x[1], x[2], fill=TRUE))
1 25
2 26
3 27
4 28
5 29
6 30
7 31
8 32
9 33
10 34
NULL
But, I want to get:
> apply(values, 1, function(x) cat(x[1], x[2], fill=TRUE))
1 25
2 26
3 27
4 28
5 29
6 30
7 31
8 32
9 33
10 34
So, how do I remove that final NULL?
