How to use Semi join In R Language
In this method of joining data, the user calls the right_join function and this will return one copy of each row in the first table for which at least one match is found.
semi_join() function:
This function returns all rows from x where there are matching values in y, keeping just columns from x..
Syntax:
semi_join(x, y, by = NULL, on = NULL)
Parameters:
- x: A data.table
- y: A data.table
- by: A character vector of variables to join by.
- on: Indicate which columns in x should be joined with which columns in y.
Example:
In this example, we will be using the semi_join() function from the dplyr package to join two different data as shown in the image above in the R programming language.
R
# load the library library ( "dplyr" ) # create the dataframes gfg1<- data.frame (ID= c (1:5)) gfg2<- data.frame (ID= c (4:8)) # perform semijoin semi_join (gfg1,gfg2, by = "ID" ) |
Output:
ID 1 4 2 5
Joining Data in R with Dplyr Package
In this article, we will be looking at the different methods of joining data with the dplyr in the R programming language.
We need to load the dplyr package. Type the below commands –
