[R] Creat new column based on condition

[Gabor Grothendieck]

DF <- data.frame(V1 = c(10, 20, 30, 10, 10, 20))
DF$V2 <- with(DF, 4 * (V1 == 10) + 6 * (V1 == 20) + 10 * (V1 == 30))
DF$V3 <- c(4, 6, 10)[DF$V1/10]

or

DF <- data.frame(V1 = c(10, 20, 30, 10, 10, 20))
DF <- transform(DF, V2 = 4 * (V1 == 10) + 6 * (V1 == 20) + 10 * (V1 == 30),
  V3 = c(4, 6, 10)[V1/10])
