Thanks for the response. I read through the Inferno and there's a lot of useful stuff in there. However I think you may have missed something.
Having some experience with other languages, I know that floating point numbers aren't represented exactly, the issue is that R is off by much more than would be expected. On my computer, cell 9,2 of (mat * 100) %% 1 is larger than .99 and the correct result is 0. That difference seems too large to be a problem with representing floating point numbers. Likewise, identical( (4.1 * 100 ) %/% 1 , 409 ) returns TRUE on my computer, so the result is off by exactly 1, too larger to be explained by floating point error. I think there's a problem with how the %% and %/% operators are getting their results. -- View this message in context: http://n4.nabble.com/Odd-results-with-and-conserving-memory-tp1692845p1753540.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
