3 < 2 is FALSE=0, and 0<1 is always TRUE.
3 < 2 < 1 seems to be seen like a double no because 3 < 2 < 1 < 0 returns F. It looks like the multiplication of -1 what is strange, because F corresponds to the value 0. So if you do (3<2)*(2<1) you get 0 and not the value of T (=1). -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- r-help mailing list -- Read http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/~hornik/R/R-FAQ.html Send "info", "help", or "[un]subscribe" (in the "body", not the subject !)
