formatInt function

Format an integer as a string

formatInt(
  x,
  big.mark = ",",
  trim = TRUE,
  forceInteger = TRUE,
  scientific = FALSE,
  ...
)

Arguments

• x: numeric vector or matrix

• big.mark, trim, scientific: passed to base::format() but configured with defaults intended for integer values:

  • big.mark="," adds comma between thousands.
  • trim=TRUE to trim excess whitespace.
  • scientific=FALSE to prevent exponential notation.

• forceInteger: logical, default TRUE, whether to round numeric

  to integer prior to calling base::format().

• ...: Additional arguments are ignored.

Returns

character vector if x is a vector, or if x is a matrix a matrix will be returned.

Details

This function is a quick wrapper function around base::format()

to display integer values as text strings. It will also return a matrix if the input is a matrix.

Examples

x <- c(1234, 1234.56, 1234567.89);
## By default, commas are used for big.mark, and decimal values are hidden
formatInt(x);

## By default, commas are used for big.mark
formatInt(x, forceInteger=FALSE);
