check.1.integer: Check Argument Type and Length

Description

These utility functions check whether a given argument is a single value of the required type.

Usage

check.1.real(x, context = "", fatal = TRUE, warn=TRUE)
check.1.integer(x, context = "", fatal = TRUE, warn=TRUE)
check.1.string(x, context = "", fatal = TRUE, warn=TRUE)
check.1.logical(x, context = "", fatal = TRUE, warn=TRUE)

Value

A logical value (or an error may occur).

Arguments

x

The argument to be checked.

context

Optional string describing the context in which the argument is checked.

fatal

Logical value indicating whether a fatal error should occur when x is not of the required type.

Details

These functions check whether the argument x is a single atomic value of type numeric, integer, character or logical.

If x does have the required length and type, the result of the function is the logical value TRUE.

Otherwise, if fatal=TRUE (the default) an error occurs, while if fatal=FALSE a warning is issued (if warn=TRUE) and the function returns the value FALSE.
