I have a strange behaviour in R, looks like type conversions are messed up.

To reproduce:

expected:
> typeof(3)
[1] "double"

> as.integer(3)
[1] 3

!!!! strange:
> typeof((0.3/0.1))
[1] "double"

> as.integer((0.3/0.1))
[1] 2

also for trunc:
>trunc(c(5,7))
>c(0.5,0.7)/c(0.1,0.1)

and now watch the amazing!!!!:
>trunc((c(0.5,0.7)/c(0.1,0.1)))
