I have this script which I use to get an epoch with accuracy of 1 second (based on R's inability to calculate millisecond-accurate timestamps -- at least I have not seen a straightforward solution :) ):
nowInSeconds <- as.numeric(Sys.time()) nowInMS <- nowInSeconds * 1000 print(nowInSeconds) print(as.character(nowInMS)) when running this I get the following: > nowInSeconds <- as.numeric(Sys.time()) > nowInMS <- nowInSeconds * 1000 > print(nowInSeconds) [1] 1289312002 > print(as.character(nowInMS)) [1] "1289312002093" I wonder where the 93 milliseconds come from. Is this a random number? A rounding error? Can somebody explain this?
