[R] readBin documentation error

[Yucheng Song]

Thanks for the reply. What I meant was that there is no int(), if you do a ?readBin, you will find it there.

 Hi Yucheng,
Have a look at "An Introduction to R" (get there with "help.start()"), section :

3.1 Intrinsic attributes: mode and length

The distinction between numeric and integer modes in R may not be
obvious, but it is important at times.
