Hello,
There are several notions of "equal". Note that all(mat1 == mat2) alone
doesn't allways do it, it only works if the matrices have equal
dimensions. If they don't, it breaks the code. That's the case of the
first example below.
Try the following.
a <- matrix(1:16, ncol=2)
b <- matrix(1:16, ncol=4, dimnames=list(1:4, letters[1:4]))
d <- matrix(1:16, ncol=4)
a == b # Error in a == b : non-conformable arrays
identical(a, b) # FALSE
all.equal(a, b) # why? different dims and different dimnames
all(d == b) # TRUE but
identical(d, b) # FALSE
all.equal(d, b) # why? different dimnames
# An one line way of solving it.
matequal <- function(x, y)
is.matrix(x) && is.matrix(y) && dim(x) == dim(y) && all(x == y)
matequal(a, b) # FALSE
matequal(d, b) # TRUE
Hope this helps,
Rui Barradas

Dear all,
I want to compare two matrices . the code must return True only when all
the elements of the two matices match.
How can this be done in R ?
