Dear all, let say I have following data frame:

From this data frame I want to create a "list" of length 3, where each
element of this list will be a vector corresponding to the value of y. For example, 1st element will be all "x" values corresponding to the "y=a", and similarly the other elements of this list. Can somebody point me how to do
this without having some "for" loop?



Thanks and regards,
