r - Opposite of %in%




A categorical variable V1 in a data frame D1 can have values represented by the letters from A to Z. I want to create a subset D2, which excludes some values, say, B, N and T. Basically, I want a command which is the opposite of %in%



D2 = subset(D1, V1 %in% c('B','N',T'))

Answer



You can use the ! operator to basically make any TRUE FALSE and every FALSE TRUE. so:



D2 = subset(D1, !(V1 %in% c('B','N','T')))



EDIT:
You can also make an operator yourself:



'%!in%' <- function(x,y)!('%in%'(x,y))

c(1,3,11)%!in%1:10
[1] FALSE FALSE TRUE

c++ - Does curly brackets matter for empty constructor?

Those brackets declare an empty, inline constructor. In that case, with them, the constructor does exist, it merely does nothing more than t...
