Logical function not working properly

[jennyz]

Hi there!
I'm currently learning on R on my own and I ran into some problems this morning. If anybody cared to know, I'm currently reading the book called "Hands-On Programming with R" by O'Reilly. On page 84, I'm trying to replicate the logical function and output of "deck4$suit == "hearts". FYI, "hearts" fall under the column "suit". However, the output on my computer kept giving me all FALSEs instead of TRUEs for the last few values that actually read "hearts". I tried to delete the old CSV file containing the data that I was working with on my computer and created a new one. However, the function is still giving me the word FALSEs as my outputs. Could there be something going on with my computer?

Very unlikely, I suspect you are just reading the data as factors instead of character strings that is why your code gives an unexpected result.

If you need more specific help, please prepare a reproducible example (reprex) illustrating your issue.

Have a look at this guide, to see how to create one:

FAQ: How to do a minimal reproducible example ( reprex ) for beginners

A minimal reproducible example consists of the following items: A minimal dataset, necessary to reproduce the issue The minimal runnable code necessary to reproduce the issue, which can be run on the given dataset, and including the necessary information on the used packages. Let's quickly go over each one of these with examples: Minimal Dataset (Sample Data) You need to provide a data frame that is small enough to be (reasonably) pasted on a post, but big enough to reproduce your issue. Let's say, as an example, that you are working with the iris data frame head(iris) #> Sepal.Length Sepal.Width Petal.Length Petal.Width Species #> 1 5.1 3.5 1.4 0.…
