Hi,
 
I have a dataset which contains several time records for a number of days, plus 
a variable (light) that allows to determine night time (lihgt= 0) and daytime 
(light> 0). I need to obtain get dusk time and dawn time for each day and place 
them in two columns.

This is the starting point (d):
day time light 
1     1       20 
1     12     10 
1     11     6 
1     9       0 
1     6       0 
1     12     0
...
30     8     0 
30     3     0 
30     8     0
30     3     0
30     8     8
30     9     20


And this what I want to get:
day time light dusk dawn
1     1      20     11     10
1     12    10     11     10
1     11     6      11     10
1     9       0      11     10
1     6       0      11     10
1     12     0      11     10
...
30     8     0       9     5
30     3     0       9     5
30     8     0       9     5
30     3     0       9     5
30     8     8       9     5
30     9     20     9     5

This is the code for data frame d:
day= rep(1:30, each=10)
n= length(dia); x= c(1:24)
time= sample(x, 300, replace= T)
light= rep(c(20,10,6,0,0,0,0,0,8,20), 30)
d=data.frame(day,time,light)

I'd need to impose a double condition like the next but if does not take more 
than one:
attach(d)
for (i in 1: n){
if (light[i-1]>2 & light[i]<2){
d$dusk<- time[i-1]
}
if (light[i-1]<2 & light[i]>2){
d$dawn<- time[i]
}
}
detach(d)
d

Thank you for your help
