is.what {gdata}

Run Multiple is.* Tests on a Given Object

Description

Run multiple is.* tests on a given object: is.na, is.numeric, and many others.

Usage

is.what(object, verbose=FALSE)

Arguments

object

any R object.

verbose

whether negative tests should be included in output.

Value

A character vector containing positive tests, or when verbose is TRUE, a data frame showing all test results.

Note

The following procedure is used to look for valid tests:

1. Find all objects named is.* in all loaded environments.

2. Discard objects that are not functions.

3. Include test result only if it is of class "logical", not an NA, and of length 1.
