Is there any really easy way to truncate integers with several consecutive digits without rounding and without converting from numeric to character (using strsplit, etc.)?? Something along these lines:
e.g. = 456 truncfun(e.g., location=1) = 4 truncfun(e.g., location=1:2) = 45 truncfun(e.g., location=2:3) = 56 truncfun(e.g., location=3) = 6 It's one thing using floor(x/100) to get 4 or floor(x/10) to get 45, but I'd like to return only 5 or only 6, for example, in cases where I don't know what the numbers are going to be. I'm sure there is something very logical that I am missing, but my code is getting too complicated and I can't seem to find a parsimonious solution.
