Hi Bert,
Yes, I'm aware of the difference between a and "a" but in terms of object
classes I don't see the difference between "a" and names(mtcars)[1].
They're both strings. However, for creating a named character vector, this
works:
c("a" = "b)
But this doesn't
c(names(mtcars)[1] = "b")
For example:
df <- data.frame("a" = 1:5)
c("a" = "b")
c(names(df)[1] = "b") # error
But
identical(names(df)[1], "a")
That was my initial question.
