问题
Suppose x is a real number, or a vector. i is valued-False. Then x[i] will return numeric(0). I would like to treat this as a real number 0, or integer 0, which are both fit for addition.
numeric(0) added to any real number will return numeric(0), whereas I wish to obtain the real number being added as the result. What can I do to convert the numeric (0) value? Thanks in advance!
回答1:
It is only when we do the +
, it is a problem. This can be avoided if we use sum
sum(numeric(0), 5)
#[1] 5
sum(numeric(0), 5, 10)
#[1] 15
Or if we need to use +
, an easy option is to concatenate with 0
, select the first element. If the element is numeric(0)
, that gets replaced by 0, for other cases, the first element remain intact
c(numeric(0), 0)[1]
#[1] 0
Using a small example
lst1 <- list(1, 3, numeric(0), 4, numeric(0))
out <- 0
for(i in seq_along(lst1)) {
out <- out + c(lst1[[i]], 0)[1]
}
out
#[1] 8
回答2:
You can use max
/min
with 0 to get 0 as output when input is numeric(0)
.
x <- 1:10
max(x[FALSE], 0)
#[1] 0
min(x[FALSE], 0)
#[1] 0
