Re: [R] Significant digits for checking values of variable?

Thanks. Is there simple way around this for simple checking of single values? The all.equal() mentioned in the FAQ doesn't seem appropriate. X = c(1.2, 2) > X.new = X -1 > X == 1.2 [1] TRUE FALSE > X.new == .2 [1] FALSE FALSE On 8/27/08 11:47 AM, "jim holtman" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >

[R] Significant digits for checking values of variable?

All, I'm witnessing some strange behavior when checking the values of one of my variables. My guess is that it has something to do with the number of significant digits being represented, but perhaps not as my variable was created from other variables that only had one decimal place. See below.
