Getting Match of an Element within a Vector in R Programming – charmatch() Function

charmatch() function in R Programming Language is used to find matches between two arguments.

Syntax: charmatch(x, table, nomatch = NA_integer_)

Parameters:

x: the values to be matched

table: the values to be matched against

nomatch: the integer value to be returned at non-matching position

r – charmatch() Function Example

Example 1:

R

# R program to illustrate
# charmatch function
 
# Calling the charmatch() function

charmatch("Geeks", c("Geeks", "forGeeks"))

charmatch("for", c("Geeks", "forGeeks"))

charmatch("forGeeks", c("Geeks", "forGeeks", "GeeksforGeeks"))

charmatch("GeeksforGeeks", c("Geeks", "forGeeks", "GeeksforGeeks"))

Output :

[1] 1
[1] 2
[1] 2
[1] 3

Example 2:

R

# R program to illustrate
# charmatch function
 
# Calling the charmatch() function

charmatch("an", "sand")

charmatch("and", "sand")

charmatch("sand", "sand")

Output:

[1] NA
[1] NA
[1] 1
