Hello.
I'm running R 4.4.0 on an iMac Venture 13.5.2 . There appears to be a bug
in as.double().
Create a string with a numeric digits followed by a single letter a thru f
(as tho' it's base 16).
for K in (a,b,c,d, and f ) , as.double( '123K') returns NA
but as.double('123e') returns 123 -- or whatever the first digit is.
Please let me know if there are additional tests I can try .
This has been mentioned in the news recently. 123e was taken as
scientific format, with an implied 0 at the end, i.e. 123e0. That is no
longer true after the recent fix; I'm not sure if it is in R
4.4.0-patched yet.
