is.object {base} | R Documentation |
Is an Object “internally classed”?
Description
A function rather for internal use. It returns TRUE
if the
object x
has the R internal OBJECT
bit set, and
FALSE
otherwise. The OBJECT
bit is set when a
"class"
attribute is added and removed when that attribute is
removed, so this is a very efficient way to check if an object has a
class attribute. (S4 objects always should.)
Usage
is.object(x)
Arguments
x |
object to be tested. |
