as.bit(x, ...)
## S3 method for class 'bit'
as.bit(x, ...)
## S3 method for class 'logical'
as.bit(x, ...)
## S3 method for class 'integer'
as.bit(x, ...)
## S3 method for class 'bitwhich'
as.bit(x, ...)
## S3 method for class 'which'
as.bit(x, length, ...)
## S3 method for class 'ri'
as.bit(x, ...)

Arguments

x

an object of class bit, logical, integer, bitwhich or an integer from as.which or a boolean ff

length

the length of the new bit vector

...

further arguments

Details

Coercing to bit is quite fast because we use a double loop that fixes each word in a processor register

Value

is.bit returns FALSE or TRUE, as.bit returns a vector of class 'bit'

Note

Zero is coerced to FALSE, all other numbers including NA are coerced to TRUE. This differs from the NA-to-FALSE coercion in package ff and may change in the future.
