heads: Apply head() across each element in a list of vectors

In jmw86069/jamba: Jam Base Methods

Apply head() across each element in a list of vectors

Description

Apply head() across each element in a list of vectors

Usage

heads(x, n = 6, ...)

Arguments

x	list of atomic vectors, assumed to be the same atomic type.
n	integer maximum number of items to include from each element in the list x. When n contains multiple values, they are recycled to length(x) and applied to each list element in order.
...	additional arguments are passed to utils::head().

Details

Note that this function currently only operates on a list of vectors. This function is notably faster than lapply(x, head, n) because it operates on the entire vector in one step.

Also the input n can be a vector so that each element in the list has a specific number of items returned.

Value

list with at most n elements per vector.
