Hi, all is there a built-in function to compare two numbers? something like following function cmp <- function(x, y){ value <- 0 if (x > y){ value <- 1 }else if (x == y){ value <- 0 }else { value <- -1 } return(value) }
Not that I know of, but there is an obvious application of sign(): cmp <-function(x,y) sign(y-x) -- David Winsemius, MD West Hartford, CT ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
