[R] readBin documentation error

2016-09-02 Thread Yucheng Song via R-help
Hi,  In the help or readBin, there is an "int", but actually there is no int(), 
do you mean some other types?  In fact, numeric() is kind of misleading, what 
does it mean?
what Either an object whose mode will give the mode of the vector to be read, 
or a character vector of length one describing the mode: one of "numeric", 
"double", "integer", "int", "logical", "complex", "character", "raw".

Thanks for the reply. What I meant was that there is no int(), if you do a 
?readBin, you will find it there.

 Hi Yucheng,
Have a look at "An Introduction to R" (get there with "help.start()"), section :

3.1 Intrinsic attributes: mode and length

The distinction between numeric and integer modes in R may not be
obvious, but it is important at times.
