# Statistics::R::REXP::Vector(3pm)

an R vector

## NAME

Statistics::R::REXP::Vector - an R vector

## VERSION

version 1.0002

## SYNOPSIS

```
    use Statistics::R::REXP::Vector;

    # $vec is an instance of Vector
    $vec->does('Statistics::R::REXP::Vector');
    print $vec->elements;
```

## DESCRIPTION

An object of this class represents an R vector. This class cannot be directly instantiated (it will die if you call `"new"` on it), because it is intended as a base abstract class with concrete subclasses to represent specific types of vectors, such as numeric or list.

## METHODS

`"Statistics::R::REXP::Vector"` inherits from Statistics::R::REXP.

### ACCESSORS

- elements

  Returns an array reference to the vector's elements.

- to\_pl

  Perl value of the language vector is an array reference to the Perl values of its `"elements"`. (That is, it's equivalent to `"map` `{$_-"`to\_pl}, `$vec`-\>elements\>.)

- type

  Human-friendly description of the vector type (e.g., "double" vs. "list"). For the true R type, use sexptype.

## BUGS AND LIMITATIONS

Classes in the `"REXP"` hierarchy are intended to be immutable. Please do not try to change their value or attributes.

There are no known bugs in this module. Please see Statistics::R::IO for bug reporting.

## SUPPORT

See Statistics::R::IO for support and contact information.
