Re: [R] function: as.integer
They are rounded to integers because you used as.integer(). Perhaps you meant to use as.double() Michael On Jan 31, 2012, at 6:21 AM, Marion Wenty marion.we...@gmail.com wrote: dear r-helpers, i created an object named A, which looks like this: A - c(4.4,1.9,4.1) now i needed to get numbers instead of characters and for this i used the function: as.integer(A) which resulted in: [1] 4 1 4 My question is, why the numbers are rounded or more impotantly if there is a way to keep the decimal numbers?

Re: [R] function: as.integer
Thank you very much for your help! I was under the impression that numeric vectors and integer vectors are the same! Reading about integers just now I did not understand, what integer vectors are. However, for my problem, I didn't need them, and used as.numeric respectively as.double().
