Re: [R] larger decimal numbers get rounded ....

See ?print

and try getOption('digits')

and try print(a, digits=10)

Best wishes,

Mark

P.S. Your number is internally correct, but the default print() will
round numbers for display. You can change this option if you need to.

 Hi,

 I am sure there is a reason but .. why larger decimal numbers get rounded 
 to the nearest integer?

 Example:

 a - 3308000.5
 a
 [1] 3308001

 I would like my numbers to be decimals  since they do represent 
 coordinates and i don't want them rounded  how can i keep them as they 
 are?

 Thanks,

 Monica

?options  
Look at the entry on 'digits'.  Does that fix the problem?  If not, give
a little more detail on what you are doing.
