Yes but you didn't answer my question. When you ask a question on these (or any mailing lists) you should always say what efforts you've made to answer the question. I first looked in the help for '[' but didn't find anything there. If you had already done that and told us then I wouldn't have wasted my time. If you'd gone on to say you'd also looked in the source code, and in which files, then I wouldn't have wasted my time looking in those files. Note that this is all for your benefit as well because we'll be able to help you quicker! >> As Obi-wan Kenobi may have said in Star Wars: "Use the source, Luke!": > Could you explain what ns and nx represent? No, you need to take Obi-wan's advice (or Seth Falcon's, who got to this before me) and 'Use the source'. I would hope that since you have an understanding of what a hashing algorithm is that you should also have some understanding of programming, and even if not in C it's not too hard to figure out. You could make the effort to look in subscript.c and work it out for yourself. If you are very interested in the low-level working of R then you should compile R with debugging turned on, then run R in a debugger and set a breakpoint in the array subscript function. Then you can inspect the C variables when you run it. Barry ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
