NULL
represents the null object in R: it is a reserved
word. NULL
is often returned by expressions and functions
whose value is undefined. as.null
ignores its argument and returns the value NULL
.
is.null
returns TRUE
if its argument
is NULL
and FALSE
otherwise.
NULL
as.null(x, ...)
is.null(x)
NULL
can be indexed (see Extract) in just about any
syntactically legal way: whether is makes sense or not, the result is
always NULL
. Objects with value NULL
can be changed by
replacement operators and will be coerced to the type of the
right-hand side. NULL
is also used as the empty pairlist.
is.null(list()) # FALSE (on purpose!)
is.null(integer(0)) # FALSE
is.null(logical(0)) # FALSE
as.null(list(a = 1, b = "c"))
