is.wholeNumber

Sometimes numeric values can appear to be whole numbers but are actually represented in the computer as floating-point values. In these cases, simple inspection of a value will not tell you if it is a whole number or not. This function tests if a number is "close enough" to an integer to be a whole number. Note that <code><a href="/link/is.integer?package=omnibus&version=1.2.15" data-mini-rdoc="omnibus::is.integer">is.integer</a></code> will indicate if a value is of class integer (which if it is, will always be a whole number), but objects of class <code>numeric</code> will not evaluate to <code>TRUE</code> even if they are "supposed" to represent integers.

An assortment of helper functions for managing data (e.g.,
rotating values in matrices by a user-defined angle, switching from
row- to column-indexing), dates (e.g., intuiting year from messy date
strings), handling missing values (e.g., removing elements/rows across
multiple vectors or matrices if any have an NA), text (e.g.,
flushing reports to the console in real-time); and combining data frames
with different schema (copying, filling, or concatenating columns or
applying functions before combining).
