checkmate (version 1.9.3)

checkSubset: Check if an argument is a subset of a given set

Description

Check if an argument is a subset of a given set

Usage

checkSubset(x, choices, empty.ok = TRUE, fmatch = FALSE)

check_subset(x, choices, empty.ok = TRUE, fmatch = FALSE)

assertSubset(x, choices, empty.ok = TRUE, fmatch = FALSE, .var.name = vname(x), add = NULL)

assert_subset(x, choices, empty.ok = TRUE, fmatch = FALSE, .var.name = vname(x), add = NULL)

testSubset(x, choices, empty.ok = TRUE, fmatch = FALSE)

test_subset(x, choices, empty.ok = TRUE, fmatch = FALSE)

expect_subset(x, choices, empty.ok = TRUE, fmatch = FALSE, info = NULL, label = vname(x))

Arguments

x

[any] Object to check.

choices

[atomic] Set of possible values. May be empty.

empty.ok

[logical(1)] Treat zero-length x as subset of any set choices (this includes NULL)? Default is TRUE.

fmatch

[logical(1)] Use the set operations implemented in fmatch in package fastmatch. If fastmatch is not installed, this silently falls back to match. fmatch modifies y by reference: A hash table is added as attribute which is used in subsequent calls.

.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 assertSubset/assert_subset return x invisibly, whereas checkSubset/check_subset and testSubset/test_subset return TRUE. If the check is not successful, assertSubset/assert_subset throws an error message, testSubset/test_subset returns FALSE, and checkSubset returns a string with the error message. The function expect_subset always returns an expectation.

Examples

Run this code
# NOT RUN {
testSubset(c("a", "z"), letters)
testSubset("ab", letters)
testSubset("Species", names(iris))

# x is not converted before the comparison (except for numerics)
testSubset(factor("a"), "a")
testSubset(1, "1")
testSubset(1, as.integer(1))
# }
