Dear all, Suppose I have a dataset with two variables:
X = c(0, 1, 2) Y = c(1, 1, 1) DS = data.frame(X, Y) Now, I want to create a new variable Z with 3 observations, but I want its values to be the result of a function. I want to create a function that compares X and Y, and if X = Y, then Z value = 3. If X value differs from Y value, Z value = 4. So, I'd have the following values for Z: 4, 3, 4. How can I create a function like that? (Sorry, I know it's a dumb question, I began to use R two days ago) Thank you very much, Lacerda -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Function-simple-question-tp4536162p4536162.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ 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.
