Hi everyone, Could someone please explain this R behavior to me:
> typeof(as.numeric(1:10)) [1] "double" > typeof(as(1:10, "numeric")) [1] "integer" I expected "double" in both cases. In the help for the "as" function it says: "Methods are pre-defined for coercing any object to one of the basic datatypes. For example, as(x, "numeric") uses the existing as.numeric function." Thanks, Erik ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
