Error in `$<-.data.frame`(`*tmp*`, cycle for R

Question

Good morning,

I have a problem with my cycle for.

My dataframe is:

Name_FD

Column_A   Column_B       Column_C    Column_D  Column_X
Element1  8808864430  88440000011863    Text1      *NA*
Element2  8808877431  88455000045863    Text2      *NA*
Element3  8808886677  88447800011865    Text3      *NA*
Element4  8808888830  88455000045867    Text4      *NA*
Element5  8808888830  88440000011869    Text5      *NA*
Element6  8808888830  88455000045810    Text6      *NA*
Element7  8808889977  88447800011865    Text3      *NA*
Element7  8808889977  88447800011865    Text3      *NA*

My code is:

Name_FD$Column_X <- rep(NA, length(Name_FD$Column_B))
for (i in Name_FD$Column_B){
 for ( j in Name_FD$Column_B[-1,]) {
    if(i == j) {
      Fonte_Dati$x[i]= 1 
    } else {
      Fonte_Dati$x[i]= 0
   }
 }
}

The errors are:

Error in Name_FD$Column_B[-1, ] : incorrect number of dimensions

Error in `$<-.data.frame`(`*tmp*`, "Column_X", value = c(NA, NA, NA, NA, NA,  : 
replacement has 16669 rows, data has 16668

The Column_B is ordered from the smallest to the largest.

I 'd like to know, for example, if the element of Colum_B [3,] is equal with the element of Column_B[4,].

If this is true, I'd like to insert 1 in the Column_X (in the same row of the element of Column_B[4,]) , otherwise 0.

Someone would be so kind to say me where I was wrong.

Thanks in advance.

Francesco

Name_FD <- read.table( text = "Column_A   Column_B       Column_C    Column_D

I think there is a much simpler way of doing this :)

library(dplyr)

Name_FD %>% 
  mutate(Column_X = ifelse(Column_B == lead(Column_B), 1, 0)
