[R] disabling scientific number format

[David Croll]

Hello R users,


I am a bit puzzled by the fact that

options(digits=22)

x0 <- 69880
y0 <- 26185
x1 <- 69600
y1 <- 22937

number <- paste(x0,y0,x1,y1,sep="")

number <- as.numeric(travel)

print(number)

gives number in scientific notation (some precision is wasted by having
a "e+19" at the tail):

6.988026185696e+19

but

print(exp(log(number)))

gives the full 20 digits of number (albeit with a certain error due to
the log() and exp() transformation):

69880261856959807488


How can I set print(number) to the normal notation instead of the
scientific one, or at least improve the precision of the scientific
notation?




Kind regards,

David
