How does the efficiency of a for loop in R compare to vectorized operations?
- For loops are generally slower than vectorized operations
- For loops are generally faster than vectorized operations
- For loops have the same efficiency as vectorized operations
- Efficiency depends on the complexity of the code inside the loop
For loops are generally slower than vectorized operations in R. R is optimized for vectorized operations, which can perform operations on entire vectors or matrices at once, leading to more efficient and faster execution.
