Description

Format an integer as a string

Usage

formatInt(
  x,
  big.mark = ",",
  trim = TRUE,
  forceInteger = TRUE,
  scientific = FALSE,
  ...
)

Arguments

x	numeric vector or matrix
big.mark, trim, scientific	passed to base::format() but configured with defaults intended for integer values: big.mark="," adds comma between thousands. trim=TRUE to trim excess whitespace. scientific=FALSE to prevent exponential notation.
forceInteger	logical, default TRUE, whether to round numeric to integer prior to calling base::format().
...	Additional arguments are ignored.

Details

This function is a quick wrapper function around base::format() to display integer values as text strings. It will also return a matrix if the input is a matrix.

Value

character vector if x is a vector, or if x is a matrix a matrix will be returned.
