Is between two elements in R -

this question has answer here:

• check elements of vector between elements of 1 in r 4 answers

i want check elements of vector

   = c(0.15, 1.5, 11, 15, 22) 

is between elements of vector

    b =c(0, 3, 5, 10, 20, 25) 

which means second element of vector a between second , third elements of vector b or not, ... not checkig first element of a.

how can in r?

the following gives want:

larger <- a[1:length(a)] > b[1:(length(b)-1)] smaller <- a[1:length(a)] < b[2:length(b)] between <- larger & smaller between[1] <- false a[between] 

first check whether or not elements in smaller corresponding elements in b. select if smaller next element in b. combine both , remoe unwanted first. tada.
