Logical indexing allows you to filter rows of a data frame based on conditions. Instead of remembering row numbers, you specify logical expressions, and only rows where the condition is TRUE are returned.

Example

123456789
name <- c("Alex", "Julia", "Finn") age <- c(24, 43, 32) gender <- c("M", "F", "M") test <- data.frame(name, age, gender) # People older than 30 test[test$age > 30, ] # Males only test[test$gender == 'M', ]
copy

The condition should be placed in the row index position inside square brackets ([condition, ]).
