Dear Gavin,

I do not understand what more information! Take any vector of length 1, for
example x<-1. Plus all the command that where in my previous email ....

What is the logic behind

identical(length(x),1)

being false?


length(x) is an integer, and 1 is a floating point number. They aren't identical, just equal, so identical(length(x), 1) is FALSE and length(x)==1 is TRUE.

identical(length(x), 1L) should be TRUE, since 1L is the way to specify an 
integer value of 1.
