R How to Find the Refferencing Row Index Number (Example Code)

In this post, I’ll show how to identify the row index number in a data frame in the R programming language.

Creation of Exemplifying Data

data(iris)                         # Loading and modifying iris data
set.seed(982734)
rownames(iris) <- sample(1:nrow(iris))
head(iris)
#     Sepal.Length Sepal.Width Petal.Length Petal.Width Species
# 83           5.1         3.5          1.4         0.2  setosa
# 82           4.9         3.0          1.4         0.2  setosa
# 101          4.7         3.2          1.3         0.2  setosa
# 57           4.6         3.1          1.5         0.2  setosa
# 10           5.0         3.6          1.4         0.2  setosa
# 132          5.4         3.9          1.7         0.4  setosa

Example: Using which & rownames to Find Row Index Number of Data Frame

which(rownames(iris) == 57)        # which & rownames functions
# 4
