[R] indexing a vector

[Erin Hodgess]

Hi Jeff!

Try this:

which(mymatrix == 4, arr.ind=TRUE)

Hope this help!

    As a follow up to this question,  what's the easiest way to
    find the column and row indicies for a specified value in a matrix,
    when you don't know which column it's in (as assumed above)?

    So if   mymatrix <- matrix(c(3, 2, 4, 1), nrow = 2),  what's the easiet
way
    to see that the value 4 is in position (1, 2) ?

    Thanks much,

        Jeff Miller
