R: Apply a function to each element of a vector, and its index

imap {purrr} | R Documentation

## Apply a function to each element of a vector, and its index

### Description

`imap_xxx(x, ...)`, an indexed map, is short hand for `map2(x, names(x), ...)` if `x` has names, or `map2(x, seq_along(x), ...)` if it does not. This is useful if you need to compute on both the value and the position of an element.

### Usage

    imap(.x, .f, ...)

    imap_lgl(.x, .f, ...)

    imap_chr(.x, .f, ...)

    imap_int(.x, .f, ...)

    imap_dbl(.x, .f, ...)

    imap_dfr(.x, .f, ..., .id = NULL)

    imap_dfc(.x, .f, ..., .id = NULL)

    iwalk(.x, .f, ...)

### Arguments

`.x` | A list or atomic vector.
`.f` | A function, formula, or atomic vector. If a function, it is used as is. If a formula, e.g. `~ .x + 2`, it is converted to a function. There are three ways to refer to the arguments: For a single argument function, use `.` For a two argument function, use `.x` and `.y` For more arguments, use `..1`, `..2`, `..3` etc This syntax allows you to create very compact anonymous functions. If character vector, numeric vector, or list, it is converted to an extractor function. Character vectors index by name and numeric vectors index by position; use a list to index by position and name at different levels. Within a list, wrap strings in `get-attr()` to extract named attributes. If a component is not present, the value of `.default` will be returned.
`...` | Additional arguments passed on to `.f`.
`.id` | If not `NULL` a variable with this name will be created giving either the name or the index of the data frame.

### Value

A vector the same length as `.x`.

### See Also

Other map variants: `invoke`, `lmap`, `map2`, `map`, `modify`

### Examples

    # Note that when using the formula shortcut, the first argument
    # is the value, and the second is the position
    imap_chr(sample(10), ~ paste0(.y, ": ", .x))
    iwalk(mtcars, ~ cat(.y, ": ", median(.x), "\n", sep = ""))
