[R] unique vs duplicate problem

[arun]

Hi Peter,

Thanks for testing it and notifying.  I didn't test it to other situtations.

Probably this should give similar results as Rui's
#Test 1:

x<-c(1,2,3,3,3,4,4,5)
func1<-function(x) !is.na(match(x,x[duplicated(x)]))
func1(x)
#[1] FALSE FALSE  TRUE  TRUE  TRUE  TRUE  TRUE FALSE

x[!func1(x)]
#[1] 1 2 5


#Rui's function fun<-function(x) x%in%x[duplicated(x)]
 fun(x)
#[1] FALSE FALSE  TRUE  TRUE  TRUE  TRUE  TRUE FALSE
 identical(func1(x),fun(x))
#[1] TRUE

#Test2:
x2<-c(1,2,-1,-1,2,3,4,-4,4,5,5,5,6,7)
 x2[!func1(x2)]
#[1]  1  3 -4  6  7

identical(func1(x2),fun(x2))
#[1] TRUE

A.K.

Try the above approach with
   x <- c(1,2,3,3,3,4,4,5)

I think Rui's solution is preferable.
