Hi all,
I have a matrix with consecutive and non-consecutive numbers in columns. For example, the first 2 columns have consecutive numbers. I want R to print only columns with consecutive numbers. Here is the matrix and how I did using conditional statement: ## mat=matrix(data=c(9,2,3,4,5,6,10,13,15,17,19,22, 25,27,29,31,34,37,39,41),ncol=5) mat difference = diff(mat)==1 difference y1=difference[1,] y2=difference[2,] y3=difference[3,] y=(y1|y2|y3) y if (y=="TRUE") mat else 0 ## However, R still print all 5 columns, not the first 2 columns I wanted. I got the Warning message: In if (y == "TRUE") mat else 0 : the condition has length > 1 and only the first element will be used How can I change the code to get only the first 2 columns with consecutive numbers printed? I am new to R. Thanks in advance for your help.
