chk_compatible_lengths {chk}

Check Compatible Lengths

Description

Checks objects (including vectors) have lengths that could be 'strictly recycled'. That is to say they must all be either zero length or the same length with some of length 1.

Usage

chk_compatible_lengths(..., x_name = NULL)

vld_compatible_lengths(...)

Arguments

...

The objects to check for compatible lengths.

x_name

A string of the name of object x or NULL.

Details

This function helps to check vectors could be 'strictly recycled.' For example the function will error if you had a vector of length 2 and length 4, even though the vector of length 2 could be 'loosely recycled' to match up to the vector of length 4 when combined.

The intent of the function is to check that only strict recycling is occurring.

Value

The chk_ function throws an informative error if the test fails.
