Bug 17160 (https://bugs.r-project.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=17160) leads me to ask this. In R, should max(...) equals max(c(...)) ? If 'max' have both numeric and character arguments, should lexicographic sorting be used for all?
> max("", 3, 10) [1] "3" > max("", c(3, 10)) [1] "10" > range("", c(3, 10))[2] [1] "3" Should all above have the same result? > sessionInfo() R version 3.3.1 (2016-06-21) Platform: i386-w64-mingw32/i386 (32-bit) Running under: Windows XP (build 2600) Service Pack 2 locale: [1] LC_COLLATE=English_United States.1252 [2] LC_CTYPE=English_United States.1252 [3] LC_MONETARY=English_United States.1252 [4] LC_NUMERIC=C [5] LC_TIME=English_United States.1252 attached base packages: [1] stats graphics grDevices utils datasets methods base ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
