Note that the precendence of %<=% is not the same as that of <=, so you can be surprised by its behavior in slightly more complex expressions:
> z <- seq(1.2, len=5, by=.7) > which( 2 %<=% z %<=% 3 ) # same as which(2<=z & z<=3) [1] 3 > which( 2 %<=% z %<=% 1.5*2 ) Error in which(2 %<=% z %<=% 1.5 * 2) : argument to 'which' is not logical Bill Dunlap Spotfire, TIBCO Software wdunlap tibco.com > -----Original Message----- > From: r-help-boun...@r-project.org [mailto:r-help-boun...@r-project.org] On > Behalf Of Greg Snow > Sent: Monday, July 18, 2011 1:39 PM > To: jim holtman; Manuel K. > Cc: r-help@r-project.org > Subject: Re: [R] Number in interval > > A small modification of this would be: > > > library(TeachingDemos) > > -3 %<=% z %<=% 3 > > Whether that is prettier or uglier than Jim's answer is in the eye of the > beholder (for longer > variable names this version could save a few key strokes). > > -- > Gregory (Greg) L.
