execute different functions considering output in r - r

Question

Let's say I have 2 different functions to apply. For example, these functions are max and min . After applying bunch of functions I am getting outputs below. I want to assign a function to each output.
Here is my data and its structure.
data<-structure(list(Apr = structure(list(`a1` = structure(list(
date = c("04-01-2036", "04-02-2036", "04-03-2036"), value = c(0,
3.13, 20.64)), .Names = c("date", "value"), row.names = 92:94, class = "data.frame"),
`a2` = structure(list(date = c("04-01-2037", "04-02-2037",
"04-03-2037"), value = c(5.32, 82.47, 15.56)), .Names = c("date",
"value"), row.names = 457:459, class = "data.frame")), .Names = c("a1",
"a2")), Dec = structure(list(`d1` = structure(list(
date = c("12-01-2039", "12-02-2039", "12-03-2039"), value = c(3,
0, 11)), .Names = c("date", "value"), row.names = 1431:1433, class = "data.frame"),
`d2` = structure(list(date = c("12-01-2064", "12-02-2064",
"12-03-2064"), value = c(0, 5, 0)), .Names = c("date", "value"
), row.names = 10563:10565, class = "data.frame")), .Names = c("d1",
"d2"))), .Names = c("Apr", "Dec"))
I applied these functions:
drop<-function(y){
lapply(y, function(x)(x[!(names(x) %in% c("date"))]))
}
q1<-lapply(data, drop)
q2<-lapply(q1, function(x) unlist(x,recursive = FALSE))
daily_max<-lapply(q2, function(x) lapply(x, max))
dailymax <- data.frame(matrix(unlist(daily_max), nrow=length(daily_max), byrow=TRUE))
row.names(dailymax)<-names(daily_max)
max_value <- apply(dailymax, 1, which.max)
And I'm getting
Apr Dec
2 1
And I am applying any random function to both Apr[2] and Dec[1] like:
Map(function(x, y) sum(x[[y]]), q2, max_value)
So, the function will be executed considering the outputs (to Apr's second element which is a1, Dec's first element which is a2.) As you can see, there are outputs as numbers 1 and 2.
What I want
What I want is assigning specific functions to 1 and 2. If output is 1 then max function; if it is 2, min function will be executed. In conclusion, max function will be applied to Apr[2] and min function will be applied to Dec[1].
I will get this:
min(q2$Apr$a2.value)
[1] 5.32
max(q2$Dec$d2.value)
[1] 5
How can I achieve this automatically for all my functions?

Answer 1

You can take help of switch here to apply a function based on number in max_value.
apply_function <- function(x, num) switch(num, `1` = max, `2` = min)(x)
Map(function(x, y) apply_function(x[[y]], y), q2, max_value)
#$Apr
#[1] 5.32
#$Dec
#[1] 11
Map returns a list if you want a vector output use mapply.
