How to find the union of two vectors in R?
The union of vectors return all the unique values in both the vectors. For example, if we have a vector x that contains 1, 2, 3, 4, 2, 3, 4, 1, 1, 4 and another vector that contains 2, 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 5, 1, 2, 3, 7, 6, 5, 7, 4, 2, 4, 1, 5, 8, 1, 3 then the union of these two vectors will be 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. In R, we can do this by using union function.
Example
> x1<-rpois(10,2) > x1
Output
[1] 2 2 0 1 1 1 4 1 2 2
Example
> y1<-rpois(10,5) > y1
Output
[1] 3 5 6 6 10 3 5 9 3 8
Example
> union(x1,y1)
Output
[1] 2 0 1 4 3 5 6 10 9 8
Example
> x2<-rpois(100,5) > x2
Output
[1] 10 5 5 5 4 7 9 3 7 3 5 5 3 3 5 4 4 4 3 6 8 6 5 4 4 [26] 4 2 7 6 9 2 3 3 7 3 1 2 6 3 1 6 8 5 7 5 7 5 4 9 7 [51] 4 8 9 2 4 5 4 11 8 6 2 5 1 1 4 5 2 6 3 5 5 6 8 8 6 [76] 3 6 6 7 7 5 3 5 4 10 3 9 3 3 7 5 6 5 9 2 6 10 4 1 4
Example
> y2<-rpois(100,10) > y2
Output
[1] 8 9 10 11 7 11 7 8 17 11 17 13 6 10 7 6 11 15 7 13 6 9 7 7 4 [26] 18 7 12 8 8 12 16 10 11 11 5 15 9 7 12 7 10 3 8 11 7 9 14 11 10 [51] 11 10 8 11 8 8 6 7 11 8 11 13 8 9 5 19 16 9 8 14 16 6 9 6 9 [76] 10 14 11 11 10 5 11 6 10 11 10 7 11 9 17 12 5 11 8 11 10 13 15 5 10
Example
> union(x2,y2)
Output
[1] 10 5 4 7 9 3 6 8 2 1 11 17 13 15 18 12 16 14 19
Example
> x3<-sample(0:9,200,replace=TRUE) > x3
Output
[1] 1 7 1 7 5 9 2 6 5 8 8 2 5 1 1 7 5 0 0 4 7 3 9 6 4 2 0 8 8 0 9 9 5 4 0 2 5 [38] 0 0 7 0 0 3 0 5 1 2 1 5 1 7 2 8 8 5 7 8 4 8 2 1 8 9 3 9 9 2 8 1 3 3 2 5 2 [75] 7 4 6 0 4 0 2 6 2 9 2 9 7 2 9 4 7 4 2 0 2 9 7 7 5 4 1 8 6 9 2 3 0 9 7 2 3 [112] 9 8 2 4 2 8 9 6 7 2 2 7 2 6 7 4 6 0 7 6 6 3 9 6 2 4 7 4 2 2 7 6 3 8 4 4 2 [149] 0 6 6 5 3 0 8 0 0 6 0 6 1 4 4 5 1 2 4 8 0 5 7 1 8 2 2 5 6 5 2 0 2 5 4 7 2 [186] 9 3 3 2 2 2 0 0 3 8 1 0 0 0 6
