Dear All,
The following gives a very unpleasant experience with apparently random NAs
- probably it's my bad formatting of the coding - but the effect is
unexpected and if undetected can lead to considerable problems:
myvector1 = NULL
myvector3 = NULL
myvector4 = NULL
myvector5 = NULL

In no programming language is it a good idea to assume equality with floating
point values. See FAQ 7.31. In cases like this use integers to create
Dear Jeremy
The NAs do not seem random to me as the gaps between successive NAs are
either 3, 8 or 11.
Have you considered the possibility that the finite precision of real
numbers in computers may be the issue here?
