unusual result with "any"

Dear R People:

I am working with a numeric vector and trying to use the "any"
function.  However, I'm getting some odd results, as shown below:

xy

[1] 0.7305081 2.4224211

str(xy)

num [1:2] 0.73 2.42

any(xy) > 1

[1] FALSE
Warning message:
In any(xy) : coercing argument of type 'double' to logical

What am I doing wrong please?

Thanks in advance,
Sincerely,
Erin
