is_perc {riskyr}R Documentation

Verify that input is a percentage (numeric value from 0 to 100).

Description

is_perc is a function that checks whether its single argument perc is a percentage (proportion, i.e., a numeric value in the range from 0 to 100).

Usage

is_perc(perc)

Arguments

perc

A single (typically numeric) argument.

Value

A Boolean value: TRUE if perc is a percentage (proportion), otherwise FALSE.

Examples

# ways to succeed:
is_perc(2)    # => TRUE, but does NOT return the percentage 2.
is_perc(1/2)  # => TRUE, but does NOT return the percentage 0.5.

## note:
# pc_sq <- seq(0, 100, by = 10)
# is_perc(pc_sq)       # => TRUE (for vector)

## ways to fail:
# is_perc(NA)          # => FALSE + warning (NA values)
# is_perc(NaN)         # => FALSE + warning (NaN values)
# is_perc("Bernoulli") # => FALSE + warning (non-numeric values)
# is_perc(101)         # => FALSE + warning (beyond range)
