Hello, I'm a bit puzzled by what looks (to me) like a discrepancy between documentation and implementation.
The documentation for [] says this about the indices: "Numeric values are coerced to integer as by as.integer (and hence truncated towards zero)." > as.integer(-3.1) [1] -3 Good. But: > x <- c(1,2,3) > x[-3.1] [1] 1 2 3 Given the documentation, I'd have expected a result of "[1] 1 2", because -3.1 should be coerced to -3 (by virtue of as.integer). What bit do I not get? (I'm using R 3.1.1, if that matters.) Best, Michael -- Dr. Michael Haupt Principal Member of Technical Staff Phone: +49 331 200 7277, Fax: +49 331 200 7561 Oracle Labs Oracle Deutschland B.V. & Co.
