[R] R 0.64.2 indexing

[Peppy]

Hi,

> Say we have a large-sized vector of observation A and a time vector with
> the same size.  The latter vector basically is the time flag when ith
> obervation of A occurs, hence A[i] occurs at T[i].
> 
> I have no trouble with doing: T[A <= 10 | A >=20] for example
> 
> Now, what I am confused: I tried to pull out when the largest value of A
> with:
> 
> T[A == max(A, na.rm=TRUE)]
> 
> this statement comes up with a number of NA's although I activate the
> na.rm flag to TRUE.  the next thing I accidently type this:
> 
> T[A = max(A, na.rm=TRUE)]
> 
> with single "=", it works!! I thought logical "equal" is double equals,
> "==".  
> 
> Is that because I tried to pull out a value from a function so that I have
> to use single equal? and why does this work?
