Ok, what i want is find how many numbers after . in a numeric ,and i don't know if there is already exists a function to do it( i wrote one by myself which will be showed later). e.g. 1.234 has 3 numbers after . 1 has 0 number 1.5342 has 4 numbers And i solved the above format using: find<-function(x) { str<-as.character(x) if(is.na(strsplit(str,"\\.")[[1]][2])) return(0) else return(nchar(strsplit(str,"\\.")[[1]][2])) }
But when i find(1.340) i get 2 not 3. find(1.3400) will also get 2 not 4. So,my question is how to implement the above needing?
