title: Looping through vector of variable names and applying a function (in R)
body: <p>so I already found some related topics but somehow failed to apply them to my case. Actually I think this one s quite straightforward:
  I am trying to write a loop that will show me all unique values for each of the variables of a given data frame (let s call it "data"). I am therefore trying to apply the unqiue() fct. Here is how I thought it d work out:</p>
  
  <pre><code>i=0 
  for (name in names(data)) {i=i+1; print(get(paste0((unique(names(data)[i])))))}
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Guess I havent yet figured out the correct usage of get/assign/paste.</p>
  
  <p>Any help? Thanks in advance</p>
