Thans Richard, it works well. --- Kai On Monday, December 13, 2021, 04:00:33 AM PST, Richard O'Keefe <rao...@gmail.com> wrote: You want to DELETE rows satisfying the condition P & Q.The subset() function requires an expression saying whatyou want to RETAIN, so you need subset(PD, !(P & Q)). test <- subset(PD, !(Class == "1st" & Survived == "No")) By de Morgan's laws, !(P & Q) is the same as (!P) | (!Q)so you could also write test <- subset(PD, Class != "1st" | Survived != "No") I'd actually be tempted to do this in two steps: unwanted <- PD$Class == "1st" & PD$Survived == "No"test <- PD[!unwanted,]

I wrote the code below, test <- subset(PD, Class != '1st' && Survived != 'No') but the code return a wrong result. Can someone help me for this?
