[Rd] formatC using a "single" as argument (PR#8211)
Full_Name: Jochen Maydt Version: R2.2.0 OS: Windows Submission from: (NULL) (139.19.34.7) formatC does not handle "single"s correctly:> formatC(as.single(1))[1] "5.264e-315" attr(,"Csingle") [1] TRUE This seems to be an unlikely use-case, however. Thank you for creating a great programming language, Jochen

[Rd] formatC using a "single" as argument (PR#8211)
Reading the help page for formatC
x: an atomic numerical or character object, typically a vector
of real numbers.
and that for as.single I think you got what you should have expected!
Nevertheless we will build some protection into 2.3.0.
