>What does this warning mean precisely? You get this when you do something like this: x <- 1:11 y <- 1:2 x[1:11] <- y In the last line, R makes 11 assignments, reusing the values in y[1] six times and y[2] five times. >Is there any reason to care about it? You rarely want recycling to work that way. It's usually a sign that you thought y contained a single value, and you wanted it repeated throughout x. >Can I Avoid it by another way of programming? Usually correcting your code removes the message. If you really wanted this without the warning, you could do it in two lines: x[1:10] <- y x[11] <- y[1] Duncan Murdoch P.S.
