awesome. Thank you.
Looking further I found the article »Thinking in R: vectors« on
R-bloggers [1]. The given example there returned a list though by using
`lapply()` and the author is asking at the end: »Any R experts out there
with suggestions for a non-lapply solution?«. So Derek-Jones, Sarah just
gave you the answer.
A further note regarding the example in [1], instead of
length(X[X == n])
to count the number of occurrences you can also use `sum(X == n)`
relying on the fact that `TRUE` and `FALSE` are converted to the
integers `1` and `0`.
Thanks,
Paul
