less than negative in R [closed]

Question

How can I compare a column in data frame for range? The range is like less than a negative number and greater than a positive number. For Positive number there is no problem but for negative number it is taking it as an assignment operator.Code for reference is given below

Resited<-Reap[mean < -5 & mean > 5,]

Answer 1

"mean" cannot be less than -5 and more than 5 at the same time. Did you mean logical OR? If both abs values are the same, you could simply write

Resited <- Reap[abs(mean) > 5, ]
