Say I have list x(a vector of character names) and list y(a vector of data). I want to run each element of data within y through a loop, but I want it to print the element from vector x that has the corresponding element position as the data element y. I keep running into the problem where for element y, all elements of x are looped. I have not yet been able to find a way to correspond x to y, or to have R recognize, say, x+1=y(essentially looking for an equivalent of how this is done in SVL for R).
Hi Christy,
Can you please add an example with code so I can better understand your question?
To the best of my understanding, this should solve your problem:
# list x(a vector of character names)
x = list("a", "b", "c")
# list y(a vector of data)
y = list(1,2,3)
# I want to run each element of data within y ... vector x that has the corresponding element position
for(i in length(y))
{
print(c(y[[1]],x[[1]]))
}
If you still have your question look here: https://www.r-project.org/posting-guide.html
If you want to produce a character vector with the elemenst pasted, just use paste():
x
