I am trying to convert numeric format to an integer in R. This is essential to a part of the project where I am using java code to run some simulations (which reads this particular data as int).
I tried both round(x$var, 0)
and trunc(x$var)
. Both of them run successfully, but when I str(x)
, x$var
is still num
. x is a dataframe.
To convert a float or double to integer in R, use the as. integer() function. The as. integer() is an inbuilt function used for an object of class ursaRaster that truncates the decimal part of image values and then converts to type integer.
To convert a column to numeric in R, use the as. numeric() function. The as. numeric() is a built-in R function that returns a numeric value or converts any value to a numeric value.
Basically,numeric class can contain both integers and floating numbers but integer class can contain only integers.
Convert a Character Object to Integer in R Programming – as. integer() Function. as. integer() function in R Language is used to convert a character object to integer object.
Use as.integer
:
set.seed(1) x <- runif(5, 0, 100) x [1] 26.55087 37.21239 57.28534 90.82078 20.16819 as.integer(x) [1] 26 37 57 90 20
Test for class:
xx <- as.integer(x) str(xx) int [1:5] 26 37 57 90 20
You can use convert
from hablar
to change a column of the data frame quickly.
library(tidyverse) library(hablar) x <- tibble(var = c(1.34, 4.45, 6.98)) x %>% convert(int(var))
gives you:
# A tibble: 3 x 1 var <int> 1 1 2 4 3 6
