Hi there,
I don´t know if you are trying to solve the delete job or to test how
functions work.
If you really want to delete lines from a data.frame, try something like
this.
rowcount<-1:100
x<-runif(100)
y<-runif(100)
df<-data.frame(cbind(rowcount,x,y))
df.subset<-subset(df, !(rownames(df) %in% 1:25))
# ! (a condition) is the negation of the condition
# so the output will be those lines that are not on interval 1:25
By the way, it is not a good idea to use "data" as a input argument on
a function because "data" is a pre-defined function.
Kind regards,
miltinho
