compareNumericVectors: Compare two numeric vectors for greatness

In msxakk89/dat: Data Analyst Toolkit (dat): a library of tools for data analysts and scientists

Description

In this function a numeric vector supersedes (comes after) another numeric vector if the left-most differeing number between the two vectors is higher in value.

Usage

compareNumericVectors(lst)

Arguments

lst	List of length 2 containing the vectors to be compared. Vectors must be of the same length.

Details

Function starts by comparing the first element from each sequence. If they are equal, it goes on to the next element, and so on, until it finds elements that differ. Subsequent elements are not considered (even if they are really big). For example c(0,1,200000) is NOT greater than c(0,3,4)

Value

1 if first element is greater, 2 if second element is greater.
