Type predicates

Description

These type predicates aim to make type testing in R more consistent. They are wrappers around base::typeof(), so operate at a level beneath S3/S4 etc.

Usage

is_list(x, n = NULL)

is_atomic(x, n = NULL)

is_vector(x, n = NULL)

is_integer(x, n = NULL)

is_double(x, n = NULL, finite = NULL)

is_character(x, n = NULL, encoding = NULL)

is_logical(x, n = NULL)

is_raw(x, n = NULL)

is_bytes(x, n = NULL)

is_null(x)

Arguments

x

Object to be tested.

n

Expected length of a vector.

finite

Whether all values of the vector are finite. The non-finite values are NA, Inf, -Inf and NaN. Setting this to something other than NULL can be expensive because the whole vector needs to be traversed and checked.

encoding

Defunct as of rlang 0.4.0.

Details
