This is the Debian GNU/Linux r-cran-foreach package of foreach, a package providing support for foreach looping, which was written by REvolution Computing, Inc. This package was created by Dirk Eddelbuettel .

Foreach is an idiom that allows for iterating over elements in a collection, without the use of an explicit loop counter. This package in particular is intended to be used for its return value, rather than for its side effects. In that sense, it is similar to the standard lapply function, but doesn't require the evaluation of a function. Using foreach without side effects also facilitates executing the loop in parallel.
