Didn’t know this…
a<-structure(c(25,34,12,5),.Names=c("0","2","4","7+"))
> data
0 2 4 7+
25 34 12 5
It’s becoming clear that I have learned R in the most unstructured way…I always do it in two stages :ashamed:
> data<-c(25,34,12,5)
> names(data)<-c("0","2","4","7+")
> data
0 2 4 7+
25 34 12 5
It’s really useful to wrap it all in a single function.
Attribute Specification Description: ‘structure’ returns the given object with further attributes set. Usage: structure(.Data, ...) Arguments: .Data: an object which will have various attributes attached to it. ...: attributes, specified in ‘tag=value’ form, which will be attached to data. Details: Adding a class ‘"factor"’ will ensure that numeric codes are given integer storage mode. For historical reasons (these names are used when deparsing), attributes ‘".Dim"’, ‘".Dimnames"’, ‘".Names"’, ‘".Tsp"’ and ‘".Label"’ are renamed to ‘"dim"’, ‘"dimnames"’, ‘"names"’, ‘"tsp"’ and ‘"levels"’. It is possible to give the same tag more than once, in which case the last value assigned wins. As with other ways of assigning attributes, using ‘tag=NULL’ removes attribute ‘tag’ from ‘.Data’ if it is present.
