This function takes a list of numeric vectors and returns a new list
where each numeric element is automatically converted to either an
integer (if it is a whole number) or kept as a float (numeric).
It also preserves the original names of vector elements, if any.
Usage
convert_numeric_types(data)
Arguments
- data
A list of numeric vectors.
Value
A list of the same structure where each numeric element is coerced to the appropriate type:
integers for whole numbers, and floats otherwise. Names are preserved.
Examples
input_list <- list(
a = c(x = 1.0, y = 2.5, z = 3.0),
b = c(foo = 4.0, bar = 5.1),
c = c(6, 7, 8)
)
convert_numeric_types(input_list)
#> $a
#> x y z
#> 1.0 2.5 3.0
#>
#> $b
#> foo bar
#> 4.0 5.1
#>
#> $c
#> [1] 6 7 8
#>
