Hello, everyone,
I am the R studio new user. I am happening an issue and can not figure it out. My question is: I have a data set called "result", and I want to use subset function to subset the data set by one of variables "Age" (Age =old and new). Here I just want all information but Age of new. So my code is here: bynew<result[result$Age==new, ] Then the error shows: Error in result$Age == new : comparison (1) is possible only for atomic and list types
Please help and any help is appreciated! Thanks so much!
If result$Age is a string or factor you will need result$Age == "new"
Thanks so much! I think I get it!
I should be extra careful about this!
Yes you need to be aware of what "type" your objects are. For example, vectors, lists, dataframe, string, numeric, logical etc. R often requires objects to be a certain type.
Thanks for reminding! Appreciate it!
