[R] how to force a big array to be integer type

[Jason Liao]

First, happy new year to everyone, especially to Prof. Ripley, who has
kindly answered my previous questions.

I need to use an array to store a large number of integers. My question
is how to force an array to be integer for storage.type. This will save
memory (from 8 bytes real to 4 bytes integer). Also I need to compare
integers and I want their representation to be exact.

Thanks for your help.

Jason
