Description Usage Arguments Value See Also Examples
The is.vector
function returns a FALSE
value in some cases where intuitively one might
expect a TRUE
value to be returned. For example,
is.vector(z)
returns FALSE
for each of the
following:
z <- 1:3;names(z) <- 1:3
z <- matrix(1:3, nrow=1)
z <- matrix(1:3, ncol=1)
These results are not necessarily incorrect, they are
just one interpretion of the definition of a vector.
Contrarily, the isVectorAtomic(z)
function returns
TRUE
for each of the above examples. Thus,
isVectorAtomic
expands the basic definition of a
vector to allow matrices containing a single row
or column and named vectors. Also, unlike is.vector
,
isVectorAtomic
returns FALSE
for objects of class list
.

a vector of character strings containing the result. The length
of this vector is equal to length(x)

z <- 1:3;names(z) <- letters[1:3]
isVectorAtomic(z)
isVectorAtomic(matrix(1:3, nrow=1))
isVectorAtomic(matrix(1:3, ncol=1))
isVectorAtomic(1:5)
isVectorAtomic(letters)
## cases where isVectorAtomic returns FALSE
isVectorAtomic(list(1:3))
isVectorAtomic(data.frame(1:3,2:4))
isVectorAtomic(matrix(1:12, nrow=4))
