This is really puzzling me and when I try to make a small example everything works like expected.
The problem: I got these two large vectors of strings. > str(s1) chr [1:766608] "0.dk" ... > str(s2) chr [1:59387] "043.dk" "0606.dk" "0618.dk" "0888.dk" "0iq.dk" "0it.dk" ... And I need to create the union-set of s1 and s2. I expect the size of the union-set to be between 766608 and 766608+59387. However it is 681193 which is less that number of elements in s1! > length(base::union(s1, s2)) [1] 681193 Any hints?
