My best guess is that you are misunderstanding what the c() function does.
I'd suggest reading the help page for c, obtained by typing
  ?c
Note that if you supply c() with objects of different types (as you have),
the results will probably not be what you wanted.

Given what c() does, your output and warning message make sense. But I'm
unable to figure out what you're really trying to do. Something like this,
perhaps?

> N <- 2; sprintf('N = %d', N)
[1] "N = 2"
