something like round(x) == x
is often good enough, maybe x %% 1 == 0
seems a bit more efficient.
Note that both return NA whenever x[] is NA so may not directly be
appropriate for your use case.

"R seek" ???
Do you mean the R function RSiteSearch() which goes to
'http://search.r-project.org/' ?
Well, calling
RSiteSearch("integer number")
gives almost 3000 hits, *but* number 10 is exactly relevant to
your question...
