Hi all,
May I request for your help if you have time and if you have an idea on how to do this. I want to add three vectors... And my goal is to obtain the sum
of the vectors, ignoring the vector of "na"...

Here is what i did in R.. I'm adding the three vectors, e,z,k, and my
objective is to get an answer = -23.
I tried putting the na.omit but it did not work.  Thanks.

z
[1] -12  -9
e
[1] -2  0
k
[1] NA NA
sum(z+e+k)
[1] NA

?sum  note na.rm and do not use "+".

> sum(z, e, k, na.rm=T)
[1] -23
