Hello R users,
I am a bit puzzled by the fact that options(digits=22) x0 <- 69880 y0 <- 26185 x1 <- 69600 y1 <- 22937 number <- paste(x0,y0,x1,y1,sep="") number <- as.numeric(travel) print(number) gives number in scientific notation (some precision is wasted by having a "e+19" at the tail): 6.988026185696e+19 but print(exp(log(number))) gives the full 20 digits of number (albeit with a certain error due to the log() and exp() transformation): 69880261856959807488 How can I set print(number) to the normal notation instead of the scientific one, or at least improve the precision of the scientific notation? Kind regards, David ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
