R Programming Fundamentals

Combining Strings Using Base R Methods

Herein, we will use paste() and paste0() with character objects, character strings, and integers. In order to do so, the following steps have to be executed:

1. Create variables a, b, and c, which contain character strings:

a <- "R" b <- "is" c <- "fun" 

2. Use paste() to combine a, b, and c with an exclamation mark:

paste(a, b, c, "!") 

3. Use paste0() to do the same, but without spaces between a, b, c, and the exclamation mark:

paste0(a, b, c, "!")

4. Use paste() to create the string "R is fun x 10" with the objects you've created:

paste(a, b, c, "x", 10)

Output: The following is the output we get upon executing the code mentioned in Step 2:
