If i understand correctly you want to know if any value in q1 is also in
w1 and q2 is in w2.
Therefore
any((q2[2] == w2) & (q1[2] == w1))
is true in only if there is common elements in both vector pairs which is
what
> (q1 %in% w1) & (q2 %in% w2)
[1] TRUE FALSE FALSE TRUE
does.
For small vectors (several values) timing will be probably similar,
however with moderate vectors with few thousand values there is
considerable speedup.
> q1<-sample(q1, 10000, replace=T)
> q2<-sample(q2, 10000, replace=T)
> w1<-sample(w1, 100000, replace=T)
> w2<-sample(w2, 100000, replace=T)
> v2<- vector()
> system.time({
+ for (i in 1:(length(q1))){
+ v2[i] <- any((q1[i] == w1) & (q2[i] == w2))
+ }})
user system elapsed
34.36 1.69 36.16

> system.time(v<-((q1 %in% w1) & (q2 %in% w2)))
user system elapsed
0.01 0.00 0.02
> all.equal(v,v2)
[1] TRUE
