integer_to_fips: convert an integer to fips

In seandavi/sars2pack: COVID-19 data resources and analysis tools

convert an integer to fips

Description

The Federal Information Processing Standards (fips) codes are available as 5-digit, 0-padded numbers. To standardize these codes for joins across datasets, one may need to convert raw integers (non-0-padded) to 5-digit numeric strings. This function does that.

Usage

integer_to_fips(v)

county_to_state_fips(fips)

Arguments

v	integer vector of length 1 or more
fips	character vector of county or state-level fips (5-digit zero-padded string) to be converted

Details

A county-level fips code can be truncated to a state fips code since the last two digits in the county fips code are the state fips code.

Value

character vector with each member a 0-padded representation of the original integer value.
