r - remove scientific notations
To remove scientific notation in R, you can use the options()
function to change the way numbers are displayed. By setting the scipen
option to a high value, you can disable scientific notation for large or small numbers. Here are the steps to remove scientific notation in R:
Use the
options()
function to access and modify the global options in R.Set the
scipen
option to a high value, such as999
, to disable scientific notation.
Here is an example of how you can remove scientific notation in R:
# Set the scipen option to disable scientific notation
options(scipen = 999)
# Example data with scientific notation
x <- c(1e6, 1e-6)
# Display the data with scientific notation
print(x)
# Output: [1] 1e+06 1e-06
# Disable scientific notation
options(scipen = 999)
# Display the data without scientific notation
print(x)
# Output: [1] 1000000 0.000001
In the example above, we first set the scipen
option to 999
using the options()
function. Then, we define a vector x
with two numbers, one large and one small, represented in scientific notation. When we print x
without modifying the scipen
option, we see the numbers displayed in scientific notation. However, after disabling scientific notation by setting scipen
to 999
, the numbers are displayed in a non-scientific format.
Note that changing the scipen
option affects the display of numbers globally in your R session. If you want to revert to the default behavior, you can reset the scipen
option to its original value by using options(scipen = 0)
