R: Integer Vectors

integer {base} | R Documentation

## Integer Vectors

### Description

Creates or tests for objects of type `"integer"`.

### Usage

    integer(length = 0)
    as.integer(x, ...)
    is.integer(x)

### Arguments

`length` | desired length.
`x` | object to be coerced or tested.
`...` | further arguments passed to or from other methods.

### Value

`integer` creates a integer vector of the specified length. Each element of the vector is equal to `0`. Integer vectors exist so that data can be passed to C or Fortran code which expects them.
`as.integer` attempts to coerce its argument to be of integer type. The answer will be `NA` unless the coercion succeeds. Real values larger in modulus than the largest integer are coerced to `NA` (unlike S which gives the most extreme integer of the same sign).
`is.integer` returns `TRUE` or `FALSE` depending on whether its argument is of integer type or not.
