Add integer to a float and get the output as float in r

Question

x <- 1626307200
y <- 0.034

x+y

I want to add these two numbers in r and save it as a float (1626307200.034). Both numbers are in numeric format. Tried several ways but didn't work

The result is still of type `double`. R prints numbers with a maximum of `getOption("digits")` significant digits. You can increase this maximum with, e.g., `options(digits = 16)`. Now R prints `x + y` as `1626307200.034`. — Mikael Jagan, Dec 10 '21 at 01:25
You can also use a `digits` argument directly in `print()` without changing your global options, e.g., `print(x + y, digits = 15)` — Gregor Thomas, Dec 10 '21 at 04:11

There is a command to allow R to display more digits:

options(digits = 15)
x <- 1626307200
y <- 0.034

z = x + y
z # 1626307200.034
