R help - Dec 2010 - how to make partial mean() of a matrix only when second value matching some logic

for example I have matrix with two columns

x,y
1,0.56
2,9.55
2,7.56
5,2.55
5,0.56
3,0.55
2,0.56
2,1.56

so I need to take average from y values placed where x==2

try tapply() if you want the values for all levels of x, or calculate your
mean after a subset()

Check the documentation on both of these.
