Dear R developers
Is this done with purpose...:
In R I get:
---
> as.numeric(" ")
[1] 0
> as.integer(" ")
[1] 0
---
While in the same in S-PLUS returns:
---
> as.numeric(" ")
[1] NA
> as.integer(" ")
[1] NA
---
For my applications, the later (S-PLUS) definitely makes most sense, but you my
have some good reasons for your choose?
(Anyway it is quite dangers with these differences when porting applications).
Thanks for a wonderful program!
