If it has been outlawed in S-PLUS for a decade, that's probably not a big need... -p -- Peter Dalgaard, Professor, Center for Statistics, Copenhagen Business School Solbjerg Plads 3, 2000 Frederiksberg, Denmark Phone: (+45)38153501 Email: pd@cbs.dk Priv: pda...@gmail.com __ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
Re: [Rd] error on uneven recycling?
That is an error in Splus 8.3. It must have changed quite a while ago - it was an error in Splus 5.1, released in 1999 and I don't have an older version handy right now. Current behavior is 1:10 + 0:1 [1] 1 3 3 5 5 7 7 9 9 11 1:10 + 0:2 Problem in 1:10 + 0:2: length of longer operand (10) should be a multiple of length of shorter (3) Use traceback() to see the call stack I vaguley recall running into some problems when we made the change, but I think it was only in our internal test suite, using a trick like the above to produce a patterned sequence.
