Hi R mailing list,

probably a very basic problem here, I try to do the following:

> Q<-c(1,2,3)
> P<-c(4,5,6)
> A<- data.frame(Q,P)
> A
  Q P
1 1 4
2 2 5
3 3 6

this is my simplified data.frame (matrix) now I try to create following
loop for subtraction of element within the data.frame:

> for(i in length(A[,"P"]-1){
  delta[i]<- A[i,"P"]-A[i+1,"P"]
}

All I get is a vector of  the correct length but with no readings.

Thanks for any help on this.
