\title{Suite of helper functions to test for types}
\usage{
isTRUEorFALSE(x, na.ok = FALSE)
isScalarCharacter(x, na.ok = FALSE, zchar = FALSE)
isScalarInteger(x, na.ok = FALSE)
isScalarNumber(x, na.ok = FALSE, infinite.ok = FALSE)
isScalarLogical(x, na.ok = FALSE)
isCharacter(x, na.ok = FALSE, zchar = FALSE)
isZeroOneCharacter(x, na.ok = FALSE, zchar = FALSE)
}
\arguments{
\item{x}{The input vector whose type is to be checked}
\item{na.ok}{logical(1L) Whether it is acceptable to consider \code{NA} type
inputs (default: \code{FALSE}).}
\item{zchar}{logical(1L) Whether is is acceptable to consider 'zero'
characters as defined by \code{nchar}, e.g., \code{nchar("")} (default: \code{FALSE}).}
\item{infinite.ok}{logical(1L) Whether it is acceptable to consider infinite
values as identified by \code{is.finite} (default: \code{FALSE}).}
}
\value{
Either \code{TRUE} or \code{FALSE}
}
\description{
These are a group of helper functions that allow the developer
to easily check for common data types in Bioconductor. These include
logical, character, and numeric (& integer).
}
\details{
Some functions such as \code{isScalarCharacter} allow exceptions to the type
checks via the \code{na.ok} and \code{zchar} arguments. Others, for example
\code{isScalarNumber} can permit \code{Inf} with the \code{infinite.ok} argument.
