I'm studying lists and I came to an example where > L $name [1] "Fred"
$wife [1] "Mary" $no.children [1] 4 $child.ages [1] 4 7 9 then following the instructions to extend the list with a new component, I executed: > L[5] <-list(NewName="something") and the new list I got was: > L $name [1] "Fred" $wife [1] "Mary" $no.children [1] 4 $child.ages [1] 4 7 9 [[5]] [1] "something" Here the 5th element lacks the name "NewName" ... maybe this is a bug. Do you have any comments?
