Smart recoding of vector values [🇷 for BE/BA]

Hi all, especially the R experts out there,

I have a vector like
a=c(1,1,2,2,3,5,5,6,6,7,8,8,9,9)
and I would like to rename/reorder/resomething this vector so that
a=c(1,1,2,2,3,4,4,5,5,6,7,7,8,8)

They are actually factor levels.

So far I took a look at reorder, rank, and sort and googled around but I am not really getting anywhere. I have written a clumsy function that does the trick, but I am sure this can be achieved with a one-liner somehow.

Anyone able to tell how?

Thanks a lot in advance and have a great day. :-)

	Dear öberster größter Meister! ❝ I have a vector like ❝ `a=c(1,1,2,2,3,5,5,6,6,7,8,8,9,9)` ❝ and I would like to rename/reorder/resomething this vector so that ❝ `a=c(1,1,2,2,3,4,4,5,5,6,7,7,8,8)` Vectorized if comes to rescue. `a <- ifelse(a<4, a, a-1)` Hope this helps and matches your problem. BTW: Hardcore Rusers never use `=` for assignments — Regards, Detlew

	Hi ElMaestro, my noob version `a <- c(1,1,2,2,3,5,5,6,6,7,8,8,9,9) a <- as.integer(factor(a, unique(a)))` — Kind regards, Mittyri

Dear Mittyri and d_labes,

❝ my noob version

❝ a <- c(1,1,2,2,3,5,5,6,6,7,8,8,9,9)

❝ a <- as.integer(factor(a, unique(a)))

Thanks a lot to both of you. You guys are nothing short of geniuses.
I think Mityri's example is better. The example that I gave had one single missing integer, but there are frequently plenty, like
a=c(1,1,2,2,3,5,5,6,6,7,8,8,12,12, 13,13,14,16,16) etc. I apologise I should have written that.

a<-5

if(2*a<-<-10) cat("Yah, that '<-' business is very neat.\n")
