apply

Synopsis

apply(func,args=( ),keywords={  })

Calls a function (or other callable object) and returns its result. apply’s behavior is exactly the same as func (* args ,** keywords ). The * and ** forms are covered in Section 4.10 in Chapter 4. In almost all cases of practical interest, you can just use the syntax func (* args ,** keywords ) and avoid apply.
