| logical {base} | R Documentation |
Create or test for objects of type "logical", and the basic
logical constants.
TRUE FALSE T; F logical(length = 0) as.logical(x, ...) is.logical(x)
length |
desired length. |
x |
object to be coerced or tested. |
... |
further arguments passed to or from other methods. |
TRUE and FALSE are reserved words denoting logical
constants in the R language, whereas T and F are global
variables whose initial values set to these. All four are
logical(1) vectors.
logical creates a logical vector of the specified length.
Each element of the vector is equal to FALSE.
as.logical attempts to coerce its argument to be of logical
type. For factors, this uses the levels
(labels). Like as.vector it strips attributes including
names.
is.logical returns TRUE or FALSE depending on
whether its argument is of logical type or not.
