why can't subset data frame by some keys?

such data frame as follows:



df <- data.frame(yr = rep(2000:2017,each=46),
dayorder = rep(seq(1,365,8),time=18),
fid = rep(1:46,time=18),
Value = runif(46*18)
)


when I sieve by keys:



df[which(dayorder==9),]
yr dayorder fid Value
2 2000 9 2 0.3424053
48 2001 9 2 0.6639720
94 2002 9 2 0.5530076
140 2003 9 2 0.9757845
.....


When use 'yr' key ,report error:



df[which(yr==2001),]
Error in which(yr == 2001) : object 'yr' not found


same error by 'fid' key"



df[which(fid==2),]
Error in which(fid == 2) : object 'fid' not found


but df$yr is existed:



df$yr
[1] 2000 2000 2000 2000 2000 2000 2000 2000 2000 2000 2000 2000 2000 2000
.....


What's the problem of data frame?

          You need to add df$ before the column name, in the first case you don't get an error probably because dayorder is a variable defined in your environment.



          It should've thrown an error like the others.



          df[which(df$dayorder==9),] # or df[df$dayorder==9,] 


          When I call like this df[which(df$dayorder==9),] I get:




          Error in which(dayorder == 9) : object 'dayorder' not found




          Another solution using with, avoids too many df$ (also note you can remove which():



          with(df, df[dayorder==9, ])
