Small cache access methods

Description

These methods are packaged here for methods in packages bit64 and ff.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'integer64'
na.count(x, ...)

## S3 method for class 'integer64'
nvalid(x, ...)

## S3 method for class 'integer64'
is.sorted(x, ...)

## S3 method for class 'integer64'
nunique(x, ...)

## S3 method for class 'integer64'
nties(x, ...)

Arguments

Details

All these functions benefit from a sortcache(), ordercache() or sortordercache(). na.count(), nvalid() and nunique() also benefit from a hashcache().

Value

is.sorted returns a logical scalar, the other methods return an integer scalar.

Functions

• na.count(integer64): returns the number of NAs

• nvalid(integer64): returns the number of valid data points, usually length() minus na.count.

• is.sorted(integer64): checks for sortedness of x (NAs sorted first)

• nunique(integer64): returns the number of unique values

• nties(integer64): returns the number of tied values.

Note

If a cache() exists but the desired value is not cached, then these functions will store their result in the cache. We do not consider this a relevant side-effect, since these small cache results do not have a relevant memory footprint.

cache() for caching functions and sortordercache() for functions creating big caches

Examples

 x <- as.integer64(sample(c(rep(NA, 9), 1:9), 32, TRUE))
 length(x)
 na.count(x)
 nvalid(x)
 nunique(x)
 nties(x)
 table.integer64(x)
 x
