Hi, You could use: which(a%in%b) #[1] 1 2 3 4 5 a1<-c(1,2,5)
b1<-c(1,3,4,5,7) which(a1%in%b1) #[1] 1 3 A.K. Hello! I created the following function for calculating which elements in vector a are existant in vector b. However, all I get is NA NA NA and I can´t figure out why. =/ fun <- function(a, b) { y <- rep(NA, length(a)) x <- 0 while (x <= length(b)) { x <- x + 1 for (i in 1:length(a)) { y[i]<- (a[i] == b[x]) } } return(y) } fun(a<-1:5,b<-1:9) Thanks for any help! ______________________________________________ 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.
