This is a simple question but it is starting to annoy me that I cant find a solution....
I would like to be able to keep the 0.0 when using it as an output when usin
You can use sprintf()
:
paste0("x", sprintf("%.1f", y), "x")
There is also format
and drop0trailing
paste0('x',format(y,drop0Trailing = F),'x')
And, if you really want only 0
replaced with 0.0
, not (1.0
or -1.0
)
then
paste0('x',gsub(x = gsub(x = format(y, drop0trailing = T),'0$', '0.0'),' ',''),'x')
## [1] "x-1.5x" "x-1x" "x-0.5x" "x0.0x" "x0.5x" "x1x" "x1.5x"
Or, as @mrdwab suggested (and is less typying)
paste0('x',gsub("^0$", "0.0", as.character(y)),'x')
There's also formatC
:
paste0("x", formatC(y, digits = 1, format = "f"), "x")
