Lookup {DescTools}R Documentation

Look Up a Value In a Reference Vector

Description

Lookup searches the positions of (first) matches of the argument x in its second argument idx and returns the according values from ret.

Usage

Lookup(x, ref, val)

Arguments

x

vector: the values to be matched. Long vectors are supported.

ref

vector: the values to be matched. Long vectors are supported.

val

vector: the values to be returned.

Details

This function is wrapping the function match allowing to pass a vector from which the found elements should be returned. This is often used in a code lookup situation and might be simpler than using match or merge.

Value

A vector of the same length as x giving the elements in ret at the position in idx of the first match if there is a match. If there's no match NA will be returned.
