Re: How to Do a Replacement with Two Conditions

Show all headers | View raw

I was with you until you said "to create a dummy variable". If you just 
want to replace numbers > 180 with 1 and those <= 180 with 0, then Boole 
will do the trick:

    myList = Append[RandomInteger[{0, 360}, 10], 180]
{235, 189, 23, 169, 229, 93, 14, 284, 251, 290, 180}

    Boole[ Thread[myList > 180] ]
{1, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 1, 1, 0}

The Thread is needed because > (Greater) is not Listable -- somewhat 
surprisingly to me.
