i using info frame swiss
, determine total number of cities have less 7 characters. can done sum
, nchar
?
thanks!
edit:
as @kfb noted, should clarify other issue , give example. might have not best example, can show meant in comments.
housing
so in info have column type
, count how many values have less 7 characters sum
, nchar
command. same can done infl
column.
you can try:
sum(nchar(rownames(swiss))<7) #[1] 16
counting specific column in data.frame (assuming nchar
)
nchar(swiss$fertility) #[1] 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 2 4 4 4 4 2 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 2 4 4 #[39] 4 4 4 4 4 4 2 4 4
if want find length of each column, nrow(swiss)
not going alter specific column.
library(mass) data(housing) sapply(housing[,c("infl", "type")], function(x) sum(nchar(as.character(x))<7)) #infl type # 72 36
for 1 column, don't need sapply
sum(nchar(as.character(housing[,"infl"])) <7) #[1] 72
