[R] Avoiding loops to detect number of coincidences

[Sarah Goslee]

Hi Trying,

It would be helpful if you provided reproducible examples. It would
also be polite to sign a name so that we have something by which to
address you.

I have no idea what you are trying to do with the loops below, but if
you are trying to count matches by row:

c(1, 1, 1, 8, 1, 1, 6, 4, 1, 3, 1, 3, 3)

structure(list(V1 = c(4L, 1L, 1L, 6L), V2 = c(1L, 6L, 1L, 6L),
    V3 = c(1L, 1L, 1L, 6L), V4 = c(8L, 8L, 8L, 8L), V5 = c(1L,
    1L, 1L, 1L), V6 = c(1L, 1L, 1L, 1L), V7 = c(6L, 6L, 6L, 6L
    ), V8 = c(4L, 4L, 4L, 4L), V9 = c(1L, 1L, 1L, 1L), V10 = c(3L,
    3L, 3L, 3L), V11 = c(1L, 1L, 1L, 1L), V12 = c(3L, 3L, 3L,
    3L), V13 = c(3L, 3L, 3L, 3L)), .Names = c("V1", "V2", "V3",
"V4", "V5", "V6", "V7", "V8", "V9", "V10", "V11", "V12", "V13"
), class = "data.frame", row.names = c(NA, -4L))

[1] 12 12 13 10
