[R] R match - could be improved ?

[Jeremy Clark]

​Dear All,

The following gives a very unpleasant experience with apparently random NAs
- probably it's my bad formatting of the coding - but the effect is
unexpected and if undetected can lead to considerable problems:

myvector1 = NULL

myvector3 = NULL

myvector4 = NULL

myvector5 = NULL



myvector1 <- c(1:100)





myvector3[[1]] <- seq(myvector1[1], myvector1["length"(myvector1)], by =
0.01)

myvector4[[1]] <- seq(95, 100, by = 0.01)



myvector5[[1]] <- match(myvector4[[1]], myvector3[[1]])



myvector5



## A solution (but rather annoying):



myvector5[[1]] <- match(as.list(myvector4[[1]]), as.list(myvector3[[1]]))

myvector5
​
Could anyone tell me why the NAs occur ??

Many thanks.​
