booltype: Diagnosing boolean types

Description

Specific methods for booltype are required, where non-unary methods can combine multiple bollean types, particularly boolean binary operators.

Usage

booltype(x)

Value

one scalar element of booltypes() in case of 'nobool' it carries a name attribute with the data type.

Arguments

x

an R object

Details

Function booltype returns the boolean type of its argument. There are currently six boolean types, booltypes is an ordered() vector with the following ordinal levels():

• nobool: non-boolean type

• logical(): for representing any boolean data including NA

• bit(): for representing dense boolean data

• bitwhich(): for representing sparse (skewed) boolean data

• which(): for representing sparse boolean data with few `TRUE

• ri(): range-indexing, for representing sparse boolean data with a single range of TRUE

sapply(
  list(double(), integer(), logical(), bit(), bitwhich(), as.which(), ri(1, 2, 3)),
