checkmate (version 1.8.3)

checkNumber: Check if an argument is a single numeric value

Description

Check if an argument is a single numeric value

Usage

checkNumber(x, na.ok = FALSE, lower = -Inf, upper = Inf, finite = FALSE,
  null.ok = FALSE)
check_number(x, na.ok = FALSE, lower = -Inf, upper = Inf,
  finite = FALSE, null.ok = FALSE)
assertNumber(x, na.ok = FALSE, lower = -Inf, upper = Inf,
  finite = FALSE, null.ok = FALSE, .var.name = vname(x), add = NULL)
assert_number(x, na.ok = FALSE, lower = -Inf, upper = Inf,
  finite = FALSE, null.ok = FALSE, .var.name = vname(x), add = NULL)
testNumber(x, na.ok = FALSE, lower = -Inf, upper = Inf, finite = FALSE,
  null.ok = FALSE)
test_number(x, na.ok = FALSE, lower = -Inf, upper = Inf, finite = FALSE,
  null.ok = FALSE)
expect_number(x, na.ok = FALSE, lower = -Inf, upper = Inf,
  finite = FALSE, null.ok = FALSE, info = NULL, label = vname(x))

Arguments

x

[any] Object to check.

na.ok

[logical(1)] Are missing values allowed? Default is FALSE.

lower

[numeric(1)] Lower value all elements of x must be greater than.

upper

[numeric(1)] Upper value all elements of x must be lower than.

finite

[logical(1)] Check for only finite values? Default is FALSE.

null.ok

[logical(1)] If set to TRUE, x may also be NULL. In this case only a type check of x is performed, all additional checks are disabled.

.var.name

[character(1)] Name of the checked object to print in assertions. Defaults to the heuristic implemented in vname.

add

[AssertCollection] Collection to store assertion messages. See AssertCollection.

info

[character(1)] Extra information to be included in the message for the testthat reporter. See expect_that.

label

[character(1)] Name of the checked object to print in messages. Defaults to the heuristic implemented in vname.

Value

Depending on the function prefix: If the check is successful, the functions assertNumber/assert_number return x invisibly, whereas checkNumber/check_number and testNumber/test_number return TRUE. If the check is not successful, assertNumber/assert_number throws an error message, testNumber/test_number returns FALSE, and checkNumber returns a string with the error message. The function expect_number always returns an expectation.

Details

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