formatN: Format Numbers Keeping Classes Distinguishable
Description
Format (generalized) numbers in a way that their classes
are distinguishable. Contrary to format() which uses a
common format for all elements of x, here, each entry is
formatted individually.
Usage
formatN(x, ...)
## S3 method for class 'default':
formatN(x, ...)
## S3 method for class 'integer':
formatN(x, ...)
## S3 method for class 'double':
formatN(x, ...)
## S3 method for class 'bigz':
formatN(x, ...)
## S3 method for class 'bigq':
formatN(x, ...)
Arguments
x
any Robject, typically number-like.
...
potentially further arguments passed to methods.
Value
a character vector of the same length as x,
each entry a representation of the corresponding entry in x.
## Note that each class is uniquely recognizable from its output:formatN( -2:5)# integerformatN(0 + -2:5)# double precisionformatN(as.bigz(-2:5))
formatN(as.bigq(-2:5, 4))
