One quick notation here. I just noted that Martin has an as.integer() method for the basedInt class above. This allows for converting the numbers back to base 10 representation. It presumes that the number to be converted is the column, not the row. Thus the transpose of the matrix above results in: > as.integer(t(digitsBase(1:15))) 1 2 3 4 255 3855 13107 21845 If you of course leave the matrix as is (as Martin clearly intended), you get: > digitsBase(1:15) Class 'basedInt'(base = 2) [1:15] [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [,5] [,6] [,7] [,8] [,9] [,10] [,11] [,12] [1,] 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 [2,] 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 [3,] 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 [4,] 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 [,13] [,14] [,15] [1,] 1 1 1 [2,] 1 1 1 [3,] 0 1 1 [4,] 1 0 1 and therefore: > as.integer(digitsBase(1:15)) 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 This would make basic arithmetic operations easier. Generating 'mat' above for example: > mat <- digitsBase(c(0:2, 15)) # Again, note that each number is a column # not the row > mat Class 'basedInt'(base = 2) [1:4] [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [1,] 0 0 0 1 [2,] 0 0 0 1 [3,] 0 0 1 1 [4,] 0 1 0 1 > as.integer(mat) 1 2 3 4 0 1 2 15 Finally: > sum(as.integer(mat)) [1] 18 and back to binary: > digitsBase(sum(as.integer(mat))) Class 'basedInt'(base = 2) [1:1] [,1] [1,] 1 [2,] 0 [3,] 0 [4,] 1 [5,] 0 or even as a character vector: > paste(digitsBase(sum(as.integer(mat))), collapse = "") [1] "10010" HTH, Marc Schwartz ______________________________________________ R-help@stat.math.ethz.ch mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide! http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html
