r data types
# Short answer:
# In R there are 6 main data types: character, numeric (real or decimal),
# integer, logical, complex, and raw. Use class(object) to determine the
# data type you are working with.
# Example data types:
Data Type Examples
Logical TRUE, FALSE
Numeric 12.3, 5, 999 # In R, "ints" and "floats" are type numeric
Integer 2L, 34L, 0L # Add an L after the number to specify type int
Character 'a', "good", "TRUE", '23.4'
Complex 3 + 2i # This type isn't used much
Raw "Hello" is stored as 48 65 6c 6c 6f # This type isn't used much
