checkmate (version 1.6.2)

checkFlag: Check if an argument is a flag

Description

A flag is defined as single logical value.

Usage

checkFlag(x, na.ok = FALSE)

assertFlag(x, na.ok = FALSE, .var.name)

testFlag(x, na.ok = FALSE)

expect_flag(x, na.ok = FALSE, info = NULL, label = NULL)

Arguments

x
[any] Object to check.
na.ok
[logical(1)] Are missing values allowed? Default is FALSE.
.var.name
[character(1)] Name for x. Defaults to a heuristic to determine the name using deparse and substitute.
info
[character(1)] Extra information to be included in the message for the testthat reporter. See expect_that.
label
[character(1)] Same as .var.name, but passed down to expect_that.

Value

  • Depending on the function prefix: If the check is successful, all functions return TRUE. If the check is not successful, assertFlag throws an error message, testFlag returns FALSE, checkFlag returns a string with the error message. The function expect_flag will return an expectation.

Details

This function does not distinguish between NA, NA_integer_, NA_real_, NA_complex_ NA_character_ and NaN.
