How to get name from a value in an R vector with names

r

Solution

Lots of ways to do this.

names(v)[v == "NY"] # extract the names, subset by equality to NY
# or
names(which(v == "NY")) # extract entries that == NY and get names

to name a few.

Problem

I know that with a vector such as ``` v <- c("MA", "NY", "PA") names(v) <- c("Massachusetts", "New York", "Pennsylvania") ``` It is possible to get a value from a name using syntax such as ``` v["New York"] ``` But is it possible to get a name from a value (like the PHP key() function)? Thanks.
