Hi David,

checkout, e. g., base-R's

paste0(site, depth)

or, if stored as columns of a matrix or data frame X, e.g.,

apply(X, 1, paste0)

or, e.g., tidyr's

unite.

If I have a vector of site abbreviations and a vector of depths in those water 
bodies, is there a simple way in R to combine them to make a third vector?
Examples:

site    depth           desired
MU      0               MU0
MU      1               MU1
MU      2               MU2
MC      0               MC0
MC      1               MC1
MC      2               MC2

The dataset has many more lines than this.  I can see how to do this with lots 
of if statements, but does R have magic that can make it happen easily?  I 
guess this would be called concatenation.
