Dear R-list,
We stumbled upon some weird problem when performing a simple indexing operation.
Below some example code to illustrate the issue
#FAILS TO FIND .55 Oo
huh1 = seq(.1,.7,.15);huh1
# [1] 0.10 0.25 0.40 0.55 0.70
huh1 == .25
# [1] FALSE TRUE FALSE FALSE FALSE
huh1 == .55
# [1] FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE
huh1 == "0.55"
# [1] FALSE FALSE FALSE TRUE FALSE
Hence somehow one element in the sequence has become a character?
#DOES NOT FAIL TO FIND .55
huh2 = c(.1,.25,.4,.55,.7);huh3
# [1] 0.10 0.25 0.40 0.55 0.70
huh2 == .25
# FALSE TRUE FALSE FALSE FALSE
huh2 == .55
# [1] FALSE FALSE FALSE TRUE FALSE
This is what you would expect.
#DOES NOT FAIL TO FIND .55
huh3 = seq(.1,.7,.05);huh2
# [1] 0.10 0.25 0.40 0.55 0.70
huh3 == .25
# [1] FALSE FALSE FALSE TRUE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE
FALSE
huh3 == .55
# [1] FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE TRUE FALSE FALSE
FALSE
Strangely when making a longer sequence, the weird behavior does not persist.
Does anyone have a clue what is going on here?
