Re: [R] Vector Assignments

[Spencer Graves]

     One way is to use "ifelse": 

x <- seq(100, 1000, by=100)
x.col <- ifelse(x < 250, "red",
   ifelse(x<500, "blue", ifelse(x<750, "green", "black")))
data.frame(x, x.col)
     x x.col
1   100   red
2   200   red
3   300  blue
4   400  blue
5   500 green
6   600 green
7   700 green
8   800 black
9   900 black
10 1000 black
     Does this seem reasonable?

Hi,

I have simple R question.  

I have a vector x that contains real numbers.  I would like to create
another vector col that is the same length of x such that:
if x[i] < 250 then col[i] = "red"
else if x[i] < 500 then col[i] = "blue"
else if x[i] < 750 then col[i] = "green"
else col[i] = "black" for all i
I am convinced that there is probably a very efficient way to do this in
R but I am not able to figure it out.  Any help would be greatly
appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Arend van der Veen
