R: Remove the number of occurrences of values in one vector from another vector, but not all

Question

Apologies for the confusing title, but I don\'t know how to express my problem otherwise. In R, I have the following problem which I want to solve:

x <- seq(1         


        

Answer 1

Similar to @VincentGuillemot's answer, but in functional programming style. Uses purrr package:

i <- z
map(p, function(x) { i <<- i[-min(which(i == x))]})
i

> i
 [1] 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
