Sorry, I should have written it an other way:
test$z <- test[[2]]/test[[3]]

Which is then really easy to fit into a for loop

Hi,

Would this do:
test <- data.frame(a=LETTERS[1:10], x=1:10, y=seq(0.1,1,0.1)) #create some data.frame
test$z <- test$x/test$y #add a column
?

HTH,
Ivan

Hi,

I'm a novice R user, much more used to SAS. My problem is pretty simple - basically, in a data frame, I have variables named
x1,....,x10 and y1,...,y10; and I would like to create r1 = x1 / y1 etc

Apologies if this is way too rudimentary - but I couldn't find any posts online which solve this exact issue.

Cheers,
Andre
