a couple of the many possible ways are: x <- c(23,36,45,62,79,103,109) thr <- 67
x[x > thr][1] head(x[x > thr], 1) I hope it helps. Best, Dimitris On 7/28/2010 12:12 PM, Raghu wrote:
Hi I have a sorted array ( in ascending order) and I want to find the subscript of a number in the array which is the the next highest number to a given number. For example,if I have 67 as a given number and if I have a vector x=c(23,36,45,62,79,103,109), then how do I get the subscript 5 from x (to get 79 which is the next highest to 67) without using a for loop? Thx
