Note that <code>"numeric"</code> already contains <code>"integer"</code> and <code>"double"</code>, but we want all of them to be direct subclasses of <code>"atomicVector"</code>. </p> <h3>Author(s)</h3> <p>Martin Maechler</p> <h3>See Also</h3> <p><code><a href="../../base/html/is.recursive.html">is.atomic</a></code>, <code><a href="../../base/html/integer.html">integer</a></code>, <code><a href="../../base/html/numeric.html">numeric</a></code>, <code><a href="../../base/html/complex.html">complex</a></code>, etc. </p> <h3>Examples</h3> <pre> showClass("atomicVector") </pre> <hr /><div style="text-align: center;">[Package <em>Matrix</em> version 1.2-17 <a href="00Index.html">Index</a>]</div> </body></html>
