Thank you Steve!
This does everything I need (at this point):
(this excludes ranges y2 from range y1)
library('intervals')
y1 = Intervals(c(-100,100))
y2 = Intervals(rbind(
c(-100.5,30),
c(0.77,10),
c(25,35),
c(70,80.3),
c(90,95)
))
interval_difference(y1,y2)
Object of class Intervals_full
3 intervals over R:
(35, 70)
(80.3, 90)
(95, 100]
PS - I'm pretty sure William's solution worked as well, but opted for the
package solution which is a bit more robust.
Thanks everyone!
Ben
