### `!=` #### April D. Makukhov This specific operator translates in R as "not equal to" (the not operator being the ! component and = indicating "equal"). This is very useful for when you want an output from vectors and dataframes that are not equal to a numeric value. ```{r} # In this example, I am creating a vector 'x' that is made up of the following values x <- c(0,1,2,3,0,4,5,0,8,2,0,0,1) # Now I want to make a new vector 'y' that contains all values from except for 0, so I use the != command to specifcy "not equal to zero". y <- x[which(x != 0)] y # notice that the output contains all the values of the x vector except for 0 ```
