Dear list,
I'm trying to query a string of numbers to identify where in the string the
numbers stop increasing (where x[i] == x[i+1]). In example 1 below, I've
adapted code from Jim Holt to do this. However, I run into situations where the
condition is not met, as in example 2, where the number string is continuous.
In this case, I need to specify an alternative outcome, where if in the loop
this condition isn't met, I default to the max. of the number string
which.max(x).
Can someone tell me how to add an additional statement to example 2, specifying
that if in the loop, the
condition isn't found, then to give the max of the string?
Thanks in advance for any replies
### Example 1 ################### start with test string xx <-
c(3,4,5,5,6,7,8,9) result <- NULLx1 <- which.min(x)for(i in x1:(length(x)-1))
{if((x[i] == x[i+1])) result <- c(result, x[i]) # start with min, result =
where in string x[i]==x[i+1]} ###Example 2
####################################x <- c(3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10) result <- NULLx1
<- which.min(x)for(i in x1:(length(x)-1)) {if((x[i] == x[i+1])) result <-
c(result, x[i]) # condition not met; result = NULL}
