Hi,
say I've got two sets of number, x and y, which I want to rank. See the
example below. I totally expect and want the result of Ordering[x]. But
I neiter understand nor expect the result of Ordering[y]. Both Sort[x]
and Sort[y] are ok.
Can anybody explain to me Ordering[y]?
Thanks,
Claus
In[3]:= x = {1, 2, 3, 6, 10, 3, 4}
y = {1, 2, 7, 8, 9, 1, 2}
Out[3]= {1, 2, 3, 6, 10, 3, 4}
Out[4]= {1, 2, 7, 8, 9, 1, 2}
In[5]:= Sort[x]
Sort[y]
Out[5]= {1, 2, 3, 3, 4, 6, 10}
Out[6]= {1, 1, 2, 2, 7, 8, 9}
In[7]:= Ordering[x]
Ordering[y]
Out[7]= {1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 4, 5}
Out[8]= {1, 6, 2, 7, 3, 4, 5}
