Counting Days in a Sequence of Day/Night Values Given a sequence of day/night values (e.g., 1 for night, 0 for day), calculate the corresponding day count. The solution involves using R’s built-in rle function to identify periods of consecutive days or nights and then calculating the total number of days. Code set.seed(10) sunset <- c(1,rbinom(20,1,0.5)) rle_sunset <- rle(sunset) period <- rep(1:length(rle_sunset$lengths),rle_sunset$lengths) # Calculate day count for each period day <- ceiling(period/2) # Print the result cbind(sunset, period, day) Output
