I have two sets of interval data.Below are my two dataset. In these dataset, there is a missing values in each of the data. I want to find the non-overlapping interval values. Here is my code: mysetdiff=function(x,y){ m=length(x) n=length(y) bx = logical(m) by = logical(n) for(i in 1:m){ for(j in 1:n){ if(x[i]<=y[j]){ bx[i] = T by[j] = T } } } sx = x[!bx] sy = y[!by] s=c(sx,sy) return(s) } How am i going to remove the NA value in my function?? any sugesstion?? thanks a bunch c [1] 17130612 17712302 21225764 25012714 33852816 36012944 36252300 [8] 36737468 43693832 44148616 45318876 45852632 53258208 58530988 [15] 60437872 72516480 79673224 93128744 94269896 95868704 99651504 [22] 113688560 131101008 132955984 135891280 141318144 148257888 156158176 [29] 157797616 162055856 168221296 173125232 176267104 182826240 183742528 [36] 184401728 190671888 196639616 17587118 18221688 21387314 30748348 [43] 34480192 36209144 36280276 36971144 43878548 44496056 45740012 [50] 46752088 53700056 58603536 60691012 72757696 80077728 93181480 [57] 94474624 97418088 106596368 120128352 132462320 132980744 135998880 [64] 142259520 151591840 156920960 157838176 162743136 168466848 173167936 [71] 176338384 182930096 184149776 185735712 190910576 NA > d [1] 17712302 21203780 25012714 33852816 34794536 36012944 37891284 [8] 43693832 44148616 45852632 53289188 61573112 63664928 72516480 [15] 79673224 94474624 95868704 99651504 113688560 125159688 127388568 [22] 131101008 154599216 176267104 181504912 182562720 182826240 183742528 [29] 196841904 18100404 21387314 30748348 34384588 35996440 36252300 [36] 37942556 43878548 44496056 46752088 53700056 62637560 63969952 [43] 72757696 80077728 94617360 97144032 106596368 120128352 127220456 [50] 127504536 132462320 154717312 176338384 181836032 182687824 182930096 [57] 184149776 NA
