Hello,
I am trying to print a table with numbers all rounded to the same number of digits (one after the decimal), but R seems to want to not print ".0" for integers. I can go in and fix it one number at a time, but I'd like to understand the principle. Here's an example of the code. The problem is the 13th element, 21 or 21.0:
>nvb_deaths <- round(ss[,10]/100,digits=1)
> nvb_deaths
[1] 56.5 1.6 0.2 3.9 0.1 2.2 0.2 2.6 1.5 4.1 1.1 6.1 21.0
>nvb_dths <- paste(nvb_deaths," (",round(100*nvb_deaths/nvb_deaths[1],digits=1),"%)",sep="")
> nvb_dths
[1] "56.5 (100%)" "1.6 (2.8%)" "0.2 (0.4%)" "3.9 (6.9%)" "0.1 (0.2%)" "2.2 (3.9%)"
[7] "0.2 (0.4%)" "2.6 (4.6%)" "1.5 (2.7%)" "4.1 (7.3%)" "1.1 (1.9%)" "6.1 (10.8%)"
[13] "21 (37.2%)"
> print(nvb_deaths,digits=1)
[1] 56.5 1.6 0.2 3.9 0.1 2.2 0.2 2.6 1.5 4.1 1.1 6.1 21.0
> paste(print(nvb_deaths,digits=1)," (",round(100*nvb_deaths/nvb_deaths[1],digits=1),"%)",sep="")
[1] 56.5 1.6 0.2 3.9 0.1 2.2 0.2 2.6 1.5 4.1 1.1 6.1 21.0
[1] "56.5 (100%)" "1.6 (2.8%)" "0.2 (0.4%)" "3.9 (6.9%)" "0.1 (0.2%)" "2.2 (3.9%)"
[7] "0.2 (0.4%)" "2.6 (4.6%)" "1.5 (2.7%)" "4.1 (7.3%)" "1.1 (1.9%)" "6.1 (10.8%)"
[13] "21 (37.2%)"
I'm running R v2.8.1 on Windows. Any help is much appreciated.
Cheers,
