Type Conversion
Swipe to show menu
Numbers can be converted between different types using built-in functions. This allows you to work with values as integers, doubles, or complex numbers when needed.
Incorrect Conversion
Simply appending L to an existing variable does not convert it:
12num <- 20 numL # Invalid way to convert
Correct Conversion
Instead, you should use one of these functions:
as.integer();as.double();as.complex().
123as.integer(3.8) as.double(5L) as.complex(7)
Numerical types follow a hierarchy, which defines how values can be converted:
integer β double β complexconversions are always valid;- Converting a
doubleinto anintegertruncates the decimal part; - A
complexnumber can be converted only if its imaginary part is zero.
