checkmate (version 1.6.2)

checkNumber: Check if an argument is a single numeric

Description

Check if an argument is a single numeric

Usage

checkNumber(x, na.ok = FALSE, lower = -Inf, upper = Inf, finite = FALSE)
assertNumber(x, na.ok = FALSE, lower = -Inf, upper = Inf,
  finite = FALSE, .var.name)
testNumber(x, na.ok = FALSE, lower = -Inf, upper = Inf, finite = FALSE)
expect_number(x, na.ok = FALSE, lower = -Inf, upper = Inf,
  finite = FALSE, info = NULL, label = NULL)

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.

.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, assertNumber throws an error message, testNumber returns FALSE, checkNumber returns a string with the error message. The function expect_number will return an expectation.

Details

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