Edit Question
Title
Body
I am working in R. I have a series of coordinates in decimal degrees, and I would like to sort these coordinates by how many decimal places these numbers have (i.e. I will want to discard coordinates that have too few decimal places). Is there a function in R that can return the number of decimal places a number has, that I would be able to incorporate into function writing? Example of input: AniSom4 -17.23300000 -65.81700 AniSom5 -18.15000000 -63.86700 AniSom6 1.42444444 -75.86972 AniSom7 2.41700000 -76.81700 AniLac9 8.6000000 -71.15000 AniLac5 -0.4000000 -78.00000 I would ideally write a script that would discard AniLac9 and AniLac 5 because those coordinates were not recorded with enough precision. I would like to discard coordinates for which both the longitude and the latitude have fewer than 3 non-zero decimal values.
