all_same_sign: Determine whether a vector is all of the same sign

In hutils: Miscellaneous R Functions and Aliases

Determine whether a vector is all of the same sign

Description

Present since hutils 1.2.0.

Usage

all_same_sign(x)

Arguments

x	A numeric vector.

Value

TRUE if all elements of x have the same sign. Zero is a separate sign from positive and negative. All vectors of length-1 or length-0 return TRUE, even if x = NA, (since although the value is unknown, it must have a unique sign), and non-numeric x.

Examples

all_same_sign(1:10)
all_same_sign(1:10 - 1)
all_same_sign(0)
all_same_sign(NA)
all_same_sign(c(NA, 1))
all_same_sign("surprise?")
all_same_sign(c(0, 0.1 + 0.2 - 0.3))

if (requireNamespace("microbenchmark", quietly = TRUE)) {
  library(microbenchmark)
  microbenchmark(base = length(unique(sign(1:1e5), nmax = 3)) == 1L, 
                 all_same_sign(1:1e5))
