[R] Adding same items together in data.frame

[John Kane]

And another approach:
=================================================================
library(reshape2)
mydata <- data.frame(aa = sample(Cs(a,b,c,d,e),10,replace=TRUE),
          bb = sample(1:10, 10, replace=TRUE))
          
(m1 <- melt(mydata))
=================================================================
