# 
## Overview
The **`as.integer()` function** in R transforms a character object into an integer object.
## Syntax
```
as.integer(x)
```
## Parameter value
The `as.integer()` function takes a single mandatory parameter, `x`, representing the character object passed.
## Return value
The `as.integer()` function returns an integer object.
## Example 1

# calling the as.integer() function on character objects
as.integer("1")
as.integer("1.5")
as.integer("10")
as.integer("-10.5")
as.integer("0x290")

## Code explanation 
We call the `as.integer()` function on some given character objects in the code above. The function helps return their values as integer objects.

## Example 2

# creating a vector
myvector <- c(1, 2, 3, 4, 5)

# converting the vector to integer
myinteger <- as.integer(myvector)
myinteger

# to check if it is an integer
is.integer(myinteger)

## Code explanation
* Line 2: We create a vector object `myvector`.
* Line 5: We implement the `as.integer()` function on the vector object `myvector`. We assign the result to another variable, `myinteger`.
* Line 6: We print the variable `myinteger`.
* Line 9: To confirm if the variable `myinteger` is an integer object, we make use of the `is.integer()` function.

What is the as.integer() function in R?

The as.integer() function in R converts character objects to integer objects using as.integer(x), where x is the character input provided.
