Concatenation of R Strings

Using R’s paste function, you can concatenate strings. Here is a straightforward example of code that joins two strings together:
 

Output

 "Hello World"

In this example, we first create two strings “Hello” and “World” and store them in the variables string1 and string2, respectively. We then use the paste function to concatenate the two strings together with a space between them and store the result in the variable result. Finally, we use the print function to print the value of result to the console.

When you run this code, you should see the output Hello World, which is the concatenated string of “Hello” and “World” with a space between them.

You can also concatenate multiple strings by passing them as separate arguments to the paste function, like this:

Output

[1] "Hello to the World"

In this example, we concatenate three strings “Hello”, “to”, and “the World” and store the result in the variable result. The paste function combines the strings together with a space between them, so the output of this code would be Hello to the World.

Strings are a bunch of character variables. It is a one-dimensional array of characters. One or more characters enclosed in a pair of matching single or double quotes can be considered a string in R. Strings in R Programming represent textual content and can contain numbers, spaces, and special characters. An empty string is represented by using “. R Strings are always stored as double-quoted values. A double-quoted string can contain single quotes within it. Single-quoted strings can’t contain single quotes. Similarly, double quotes can’t be surrounded by double quotes.
