How to debug R program?

On Loops:
The "apply" coomands are better, faster than loops. If there are lots 
of loops or nested loops then you should be able to replace some of the 
loops with an apply command. If you have nested loops I'd recommend 
replacing loops on the inside first.
R  seems better designed using the apply commands.
It seems to be optimized for memory usage.

I found this especially true when I was doing numerical analysis and/or 
boot strap types of things.

Quotes from help:
Description:

     Returns a vector or array or list of values obtained by applying a
     function to margins of an array.
