I'm not sure what you really want, so perhaps a simple example would
help (i.e. what a sample of the input looks like and what the output
you need looks like). My guess would be

sapply(df, diff)

but again, I'm not sure.

Newbie question sorry (have tried the help pages I promise)

I have a dataframe (date,stockprice) say and looking how I might get the
return of: dataframe (difference in days, change in stock price) using
sapply - I require a very simple function and don't really want to go down
the zoo and quant mod route
