Convert the unit
attribute of deb_decimal
vectors.
Usage
deb_convert_unit(x, to = c("l", "s", "d", "f"))
Arguments
- x
A vector of class
deb_decimal
.- to
A character vector of length one indicating the unit to be converted to. Choice of
"l"
(libra, the default),"s"
(solidus),"d"
(denarius), or"f"
(farthing).
Details
deb_convert_unit()
converts the unit
of a deb_decimal
vector to
either "l"
, "s"
, "d"
, or optionally "f"
if the vector has
tetrapartite bases. This changes the representation of the vector,
but the value remains equivalent.
Examples
x <- deb_decimal(c(8.825, 15.125, 3.65))
y <- deb_decimal(c(56.45, 106.525, 200.4), unit = "s")
z <- deb_decimal(c(8472, 14520, 3504),
unit = "f",
bases = c(20, 12, 4))
deb_convert_unit(x, to = "s")
