Coerce to integer

Checks whether a vector can be coerced to integer without losing information, returning it silently if so. Otherwise an informative error message is signaled. to_integer is a synonym of to_int().

Usage

to_int(
  x,
  ...,
  x_arg = caller_arg(x),
  call = caller_env(),
  x_class = object_type(x)
)

to_integer(
  x,
  ...,
  x_arg = caller_arg(x),
  call = caller_env(),
  x_class = object_type(x)
)

# S3 method for class '`NULL`'
to_int(x, ..., allow_null = TRUE, x_arg = caller_arg(x), call = caller_env())

# S3 method for class 'character'
to_int(
  x,
  ...,
  coerce_character = TRUE,
  x_arg = caller_arg(x),
  call = caller_env(),
  x_class = object_type(x)
)

# S3 method for class 'factor'
to_int(
  x,
  ...,
  coerce_factor = TRUE,
  x_arg = caller_arg(x),
  call = caller_env(),
  x_class = object_type(x)
)

Arguments

x

The object to stabilize.

...

Arguments passed to methods.

x_arg

(character(1)) The name of the object being stabilized to use in error messages. The automatic value will work in most cases, or pass it through from higher-level functions to make error messages clearer in unexported functions.

call

(environment) The execution environment to mention as the source of error messages.

x_class

(character(1)) The class name of the object being stabilized to use in error messages. Use this if you remove a special class from the object before checking its coercion, but want the error message to match the original class.

allow_null

(logical(1)) Is NULL an acceptable value?

coerce_character

(logical(1)) Should character vectors such as "1" and "2.0" be considered numeric-ish?

coerce_factor

(logical(1)) Should factors with values such as "1" and "2.0" be considered numeric-ish? Note that this package uses the character value from the factor, while as.integer() and as.double() use the integer index of the factor.

Value

The input as an integer vector.
