> f <- function(foo, bar) { + result <- list(bar) + names(result) <- foo + result + } > (x <- f("hello", "world")) $hello [1] "world" > names(x) [1] "hello" -- Thomas Mailund On 4 August 2017 at 12.08.28, Giovanni Gherdovich (g.gherdov...@gmail.com) wrote: Hello, I'm having troubles defining a list where names are variables (of type character). Like this, which gives "foo" instead of "world" (the way I meant it is that "world" is the value of the variable foo). Any hint? > f <- function(foo, bar) { list(foo = bar) } > x <- f("hello", "world") > names(x) [1] "foo" Thanks, Giovanni ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
