_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     `real' creates a double precision vector of the specified length.
     Each element of the vector is equal to `0'.

     `as.real' attempts to coerce its argument to be of real type.

     `is.real' returns `TRUE' or `FALSE' depending on whether its
     argument is of real type or not.

_U_s_a_g_e:

     real(length = 0)
     as.real(x)
     is.real(x)

_N_o_t_e:

     R has no single precision data type. All real numbers are stored
     in double precision format.
