logical {base} | R Documentation |
Create or test for objects of type "logical"
, and the basic
logical “constants”.
TRUE FALSE T; F logical(length = 0) as.logical(x, ...) is.logical(x)
length |
desired length. |
x |
object to be coerced or tested. |
... |
further arguments passed to or from other methods. |
TRUE
and FALSE
are part of the R language, where
T
and F
are global variables set to these.
All four are logical(1)
vectors.
is.logical
is generic: you can write methods to handle
specific classes of objects, see InternalMethods.
logical
creates a logical vector of the specified length.
Each element of the vector is equal to FALSE
.
as.logical
attempts to coerce its argument to be of logical
type. For factor
s, this uses the levels
(labels). Like as.vector
it strips attributes including
names.
is.logical
returns TRUE
or FALSE
depending on
whether its argument is of logical type or not.
