uint8
Hi Luca, The answer to your question depends on your application. What do you want to do with x3? Do you really need a native vector to represent x1 and x2? Or you just want an object that behaves like it is a joint of x1 and x2? I do not think you can have a native vector x3 without paying anything, this is impractical, but if all you want to do is to have something that behaves like x3, I think R's S4 class can achieve that.

Dear R users, I am trying to join two 8 bit integers, as defined by the "coolbutuseless/uint8" package, without success:
library(uint8)
x1 = uint8(3)> x1[1] = as.uint8(1) x1[2] = as.uint8(2)> x2 = uint8(3)> x2[1] = as.uint8(2)> x1[1] 1 2 0>
x2[1] 2 0 0> xx = c(x1,x2)> xx[1] 01 02 00 02 00 00 In the real application the first array (x1) is extremely large (order 15-20 Gbytes) while the second is relatively small, so that I cannot afford, given my RAM, to define a third array, as
x3 = uint8(length(x1)+length(x2))
and then fill its components, but I need to join the two arrays. Is anyone aware of the right procedure in R or so kind to give suggestions ? (A possibility would be to switch to C/C++, but I would prefer not to). Many thanks, Luca --
