Validate temperature values

Specialized validator for temperature values with realistic ranges.

Usage

validate_temperature(
  value,
  param_name,
  strategy = "warn",
  min_temp = -5,
  max_temp = 45
)

Arguments

value

Temperature value(s) in Celsius

param_name

Parameter name

strategy

Handling strategy

min_temp

Minimum realistic temperature (default -5°C)

max_temp

Maximum realistic temperature (default 45°C)

Value

An object of class fb4_validation (see validation_result). valid is TRUE when all values are finite and lie within [min_temp, max_temp]. Values outside the range are recorded in warnings by default (strategy = "warn").
