| is.unsorted {base} | R Documentation |
Test if an object is not sorted (in increasing order), without the cost of sorting it.
is.unsorted(x, na.rm = FALSE, strictly = FALSE)
x |
an R object with a class or a numeric, complex, character, logical or raw vector. |
na.rm |
logical. Should missing values be removed before checking? |
strictly |
logical indicating if the check should be for strictly increasing values. |
is.unsorted is generic: you can write methods to handle
specific classes of objects, see InternalMethods.
A length-one logical value. All objects of length 0 or 1 are sorted.
Otherwise, the result will be NA except for atomic vectors and
objects with an S3 class (where the >= or > method is
used to compare x[i] with x[i-1] for i in
2:length(x)) or with an S4 class where you have to provide a
method for is.unsorted().
This function is designed for objects with one-dimensional indices, as described above. Data frames, matrices and other arrays may give surprising results.
