Hello,

The problem seems to be solved, btu maybe my answer to this thread [1] can be of help.

Using Bill's dput'ed data


equals <- function(x, y, tol = .Machine$double.eps^0.5) abs(x - y) < tol

x <- c(0x1.4p+4, 0x1.4p+4, 0x1.4p+4, 0x1.4p+4, 0x1.4p+4, 0x1.4p+4,
0x1.4p+4, 0x1.4p+4, 0x1.4p+4, 0x1.3ffffffffffffp+4, 0x1.3ffffffffffffp+4,
       0x1.3ffffffffffffp+4, 0x1.3ffffffffffffp+4)

x == 20
#> [1] TRUE TRUE TRUE TRUE TRUE TRUE TRUE TRUE TRUE FALSE FALSE FALSE
#> [13] FALSE
equals(x, 20)
#>  [1] TRUE TRUE TRUE TRUE TRUE TRUE TRUE TRUE TRUE TRUE TRUE TRUE TRUE

I believe you are not remembering that floating point numbers are not

See FAQ 7.31

Here I have rounded a[4] to 12 places before comparing to 20.
The you get the answer you are looking for.
