Working with Matrix

Thanks all for your help. However I was looking for following type of operation: Mat1 <- Mat2 <- matrix(1:20, 4, 5); Mat2[1,5] <- 200 Mat = rbind(Mat1, Mat2) apply(Mat, 2, function(x) return(all(x[1:4] == x[5:8]))) However I believe there must be some smarter method using ***mapply()*** or something like that. To me above operation looks very trivial! Also underlying function may be more complected Is it real trivial or some better method is available?
Perhaps:
colSums(Mat[ 1:4, ] == Mat[5:8, ]) == 4
[1] TRUE TRUE TRUE TRUE FALSE
