Returns a single-length vector if all values in vector are identical.

This can be used with group_by() to transform data to a "higher" level with hierarchically structured data. For instance, one person may have multiple web visits, where all visits would have the same age and gender. Getting to the person-level data (each observation is a person) would require 'summarising'. squish() throws up an error message if values differ.

squish(x)

Arguments

x

A vector to be passed through, can be numeric or character.

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
squish(c(1,2,1))
} # } 
squish(c(1,1,1))
#> [1] 1
