This I really don't understand. And it can go wrong. With the same data doing this for( x in seq_len(nrow(A)) ) { y <- sum(A[x,"condition"] > B[,"condition"]) res <- A[x,"force"] > B[y+1,"counterforce"] cat("x=",x,"y=",y,"res=",res,"\n") } will give you # x= 1 y= 0 res= FALSE # x= 2 y= 4 res= FALSE # x= 3 y= 5 res= FALSE # x= 4 y= 6 res= FALSE # x= 5 y= 9 res= TRUE # x= 6 y= 9 res= TRUE # x= 7 y= 9 res= TRUE # x= 8 y= 9 res= TRUE # x= 9 y= 10 res= TRUE # x= 10 y= 15 res= NA When y==15 then y+1 references a non-existing row in B and when res==NA the if will throw an error message.
