[R] counting numbers without replicates in a vector

[Berton Gunter]

?duplicated and ?unique might be of interest to you ...

But I think an easier way is:

z<-table(a)
length(z)-sum(z>1)

This gives you the count. 
names(z)[z==1]   gives you the actual values

(The quotes can be removed by explicitly calling print with argument
quote=FALSE)
