Relational Operators

Syntax

x < y
x > y
x <= y
x >= y
x == y
x != y

Value

These binary operators allow the comparison of values in vectors. They return a vector of logicals indicating the result of the element by element comparison. The elements of shorter vectors are recycled as necessary.

Objects such as arrays or time-series can be compared this way provided they are conformable.

Examples

x <- rnorm(20) x < 1 x[x > 0]
