[R] Is this a bug?

This programme for(T in 1:3){ for(j in 1:(5-1)){ for(k in (j+1):5){ for(l in (j+2):5){ print(paste(1 JKL:, j,k,l,sep= )) } } } } Prints out (among other things) [1] 1 JKL: 4 5 6 That is for(l in (j+2):5) sets l to 6 one more than the upper limit. cheers Worik

[R] difftime result in years?

I would like to know how many years (including partial years) are between two dates. So difftime(20/11/1962, 20/5/1964, units=years) would be about 1.5 But units of years are not available. cheers Worik [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
