What is Numeric?
Numeric is R's default type for numbers with decimal points, such as 3.14 or 2.0, stored internally as double-precision floating point values. Almost all arithmetic in R produces numeric results unless you explicitly ask for integers. This is the type used for the vast majority of everyday calculations.
