[R] Coercing of types when raising a number to a series of powers

2013-02-07 Thread Julio Sergio
I'm trying to produce a series of powers of a number as follows: | 0.05^0:5 [1] 1 2 3 4 5 This is not the result I expected. I guess some kind of coercion happened, since, | class(0.05^0:5) [1] integer Could anyone explain me what is happening here? Thanks, -Sergio.
