fameIsScalar: Check for (Fame or Numeric) Scalar or Time Index Series

Description

fameIsScalar checks whether or not its argument could be a 'scalar' in FAME parlance, i.e., if it is a character vector or an atomic object of length one and not a time series or time indexed series. ti objects of length one are what FAME calls a 'date', other scalars are strings, numbers, and logicals of length one. A vector of strings may be represented in FAME as a 'namelist'.

Usage

fameIsScalar(x)

Arguments

x

object to be checked.

Value

TRUE or FALSE.

Examples

# NOT RUN {
fameIsScalar("this is a scalar, since it has length one")
fameIsScalar(c("returns FALSE", "since it has length two"))
fameIsScalar(tis::today())
# }
