This is not a bug, and has nothing to do with times. For example: > round(1.03,1) [1] 1
Formatting is not the same as rounding. Perhaps you are assuming R formats numbers according to the concept of significant digits, but it doesn't. See the help page for the format function to get started with understanding R's rules for formatting numbers when it displays them. Maybe also some of the introductory R documents available on CRAN. -Don At 3:45 AM +0100 11/20/09, gus1...@optimizelife.com wrote: >Full_Name: Gustavo Lacerda >Version: 2.9.1 >OS: Windows >Submission from: (NULL) (137.82.157.97) > > >I obtained 'time' by subtracting the results of two calls to sys.Time(). > > >> round(time,0) >Time difference of 1 mins >> round(time,1) >Time difference of 1 mins >> round(time,2) >Time difference of 1.03 mins >> round(time,3) >Time difference of 1.032 mins > > >Note that the second command above should return "1.0 mins", rather than "1 >min". > >______________________________________________ >R-devel@r-project.org mailing list >https://*stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel -- --------------------------------- Don MacQueen Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory Livermore, CA, USA 925-423-1062 m...@llnl.gov ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
