Multiple outputs from nested loops

Multiple outputs from nested loops

Multiple outputs from nested loops

(OP)
I have a relatively long programming function containing nested loops and am trying to retrieve more than one output from them. Is there a way I can assign a value within a function as a global variable? Or return more than one output using some other method?

Thanks

RE: Multiple outputs from nested loops

The output of a program can be a matrix.  'Augment' and 'stack' are two commands to get familiar with.  For instance, to return multiple vectors from a program you can use the augment command to create one matrix.

output <- augment(vector1, vector2...)
