If I combine elements into a list b <- c(22.4, 12.2, 10.9, 8.5, 9.2) my.c <- sample.int(round(2*mean(b)), 5) my.list <- list(b, my.c)
the names of the elements seems to get lost in the process: > str(my.list) List of 2 $ : num [1:5] 22.4 12.2 10.9 8.5 9.2 $ : int [1:5] 11 8 6 9 20 If I explicitly name the elements at list-creation, I get what I want: my.list <- list(b=b, my.c=my.c) > str(my.list) List of 2 $ b : num [1:5] 22.4 12.2 10.9 8.5 9.2 $ my.c: int [1:5] 11 8 6 9 20 Now, is there a way to get list() (or some other function) to automatically name the elements? I often use list() in return(), and I am getting tired of having to repeat myself. -- Hans Ekbrand (http://sociologi.cjb.net) <h...@sociologi.cjb.net> A.
