is.wholenumber: Is Object Numeric and Whole Numbers

In HyperbolicDist: The Hyperbolic Distribution

Is Object Numeric and Whole Numbers

Description

Checks whether an object is numeric and if so, are all the elements whole numbers, to a given tolerance.

Usage

is.wholenumber(x, tolerance = .Machine$double.eps^0.5)

Arguments

x	The object to be tested.
tolerance	Numeric \ge 0. Absolute differences greater than tolerance are treated as real differences.

Details

The object x is first tested to see if it is numeric. If not the function returns 'FALSE'. Then if all the elements of x are whole numbers to within the tolerance given by tolerance the function returns 'TRUE'. If not it returns 'FALSE'.

Value

Either 'TRUE' or 'FALSE' depending on the result of the test.

Examples

is.wholenumber(-3:5)                           # TRUE
is.wholenumber(c(0,0.1,1.3,5))                 # FALSE
is.wholenumber(-3:5 + .Machine$double.eps)     # TRUE
is.wholenumber(-3:5 + .Machine$double.eps^0.5) # FALSE
is.wholenumber(c(2L,3L))                       # TRUE
is.wholenumber(c("2L","3L"))                   # FALSE
is.wholenumber(0i ^ (-3:3))                    # FALSE
is.wholenumber(matrix(1:6, nrow = 3))          # TRUE
is.wholenumber(list(-1:3,2:6))                 # FALSE
is.numeric(list(-1:3,2:6))                     # FALSE
is.wholenumber(unlist(list(-1:3,2:6)))         # TRUE
