Check or Set if an Array is a Broadcaster
Description
broadcaster() checks if an array or vector is marked as a "broadcaster".
bcr() is a short-hand alias for broadcaster().
broadcaster()<- (or bcr()<-) marks or un-marks the object as a "broadcaster".
mbroadcasters() marks or un-marks multiple objects in an environment as broadcaster.
mbroadcasters() may be more memory efficient for large arrays than broadcaster()<-, as mbroadcasters() calls class(x)<- directly in the given environment.
The broadcaster class attribute exists purely to overload the arithmetic, Boolean, bit-wise, and relational infix operators, to support broadcasting.
This makes mathematical expressions with multiple variables, where precedence may be important, far more convenient.
Like in the following calculation:
x / (y + z)
See broadcast_operators for more information.
Usage
broadcaster(x)
broadcaster(x) <- value
mbroadcasters(nms, value, env = NULL)
bcr(x)
bcr(x) <- value
Arguments
x
|
object to check or mark. Only S3 vectors and arrays are supported, and only up to 16 dimensions. |
value
|
set to TRUE to make an array a broadcaster, or FALSE to remove the broadcaster class attribute from an array.
|
nms
|
a character vector of variable names. |
env
|
the environment where to look for the variable names specified in nms. If NULL, the environment from which the function was called is used. |
Value
For broadcaster():
TRUE if an array or vector is a broadcaster, or FALSE if it is not.
For broadcaster()<-:
Returns nothing, but marks (if right hand side is TRUE) or un-marks (if right hand side is FALSE) the object as a "broadcaster".
For mbroadcasters():
Returns nothing, but marks (if value is TRUE) or un-marks (if value is FALSE) the objects as broadcasters.
If value = TRUE, objects that cannot become a broadcaster or are already a broadcaster will be ignored.
If value = FALSE, objects that are not broadcasters (according to broadcaster()) will be ignored.
Note
The ‘broadcaster’ class will make arithmetic and relational operators operate with broadcasting.
Functions that rely on non-broadcasted functionality of these operators will produce unexpected results.
Thus functions like pmin() and pmax(), and some functions from the ‘tinyplot’ package, are not compatible with ‘broadcaster’ vectors/arrays.
Please ensure an object is not a ‘broadcaster’ before applying these functions on it.
