can match() have a range included in R?

Question

I am trying to use match() in R to find any matching values within a certain interval. For example:

Click to copy

v <- c(2.2, 2.4, 4.3, 1.3, 4.5, 6.8, 0.9)
match(2.4, v)

gives me all the locations where 2.4 occurs in v, but what if I wanted to give a range for all possible matches? For example 2.4 +/- 0.2?

Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!

Answer 1

In that case, I would use subsetting:

Click to copy

v[v>2.2 & v<2.6]

or

Click to copy

which(v>2.2 & v<2.6)

depending on if you want the values or the index
