Adding a column based on another column R data.table

Question

I have two data tables in R:

#install.packages(\"data.table\")
library(data.table)
dt1 <- data.table(Num = c(1,1,1,2,2,2,2,3,3,3,3,3,3,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,5,5,5         


        

Answer 1

setkey(dt1, Num)
setkey(dt2, Num)
dt2[dt1]
    Num Letter
 1:   1      A
 2:   1      A
 3:   1      A
 4:   2      B
 5:   2      B
