Combine defined vectors with metadata checks

Source: R/defined.R
c.haven_labelled_defined.Rd

The c() method for defined vectors ensures that all semantic metadata (label, unit, concept, namespace, and value labels) match exactly. This prevents accidental loss or mixing of incompatible definitions during concatenation.

Usage

# S3 method for class 'haven_labelled_defined'
c(...)

Arguments

...

One or more vectors created with defined().

Value

A single defined vector with concatenated values and retained metadata.

Details

All input vectors must:

  • Have identical label attributes

  • Have identical unit, concept, and namespace

  • Have identical value labels (or none)

Examples

a <- defined(1:3, label = "Length", unit = "meter")
b <- defined(4:6, label = "Length", unit = "meter")
c(a, b)
#> x: Length
#> Measured in meter 
#> [1] 1 2 3 4 5 6
