Predicate Helper Functions for Testing Atomic Vectors in R

install.packages("vek")

All functions take a single argument x and check whether it's of the target type of base-R atomic vector, returning TRUE or FALSE. Some additionally check for value. Classes that extend any base-R atomic vector return FALSE. Vectors that carry any attributes other than 'names' return FALSE.

Function names may include a suffix that encodes what additional conditions are evaluated. A select combination of these conditions is provided for each type. Naming scheme:

n: no 'names' attribute
x: no NA (type specific)
y: no NaN
z: no Inf or -Inf
b: no blank characters, i.e. ""
1: is of length 1

For example: is_dbl_vec(x) evaluates whether x is a base-R typeof double atomic vector, of any length. is_dbl_vec_xz(x) will additionaly evaluate whether x contains no NA nor Inf values. Note, NaN values are still allowed here, which is dissimilar to behavior from base-R functions like is.na(x) or anyNA(x), wherein both NA and NaN values yield TRUE. * is_num_vec_xyz1(x) effectively evaluates whether x is a single real number.
