To see if two vectors are identical:
> identical(c(1,3,5),c(5,3,1)) [1] FALSE > identical(c(1,3,5),c(1,3,5)) [1] TRUE > c(1,3,5)==c(1,3,5) [1] TRUE TRUE TRUE
Note that the elements in a vector is ordered. The values in different order means the definition of the two vectors are different.
The comparison operators are used to compare the individual values of two vector:
== >= <= > < !=
