Creation of String in R

R Strings can be created by assigning character values to a variable. These strings can be further concatenated by using various functions and methods to form a big string. 

Example

R




# R program for String Creation
 
# creating a string with double quotes
str1 <- "OK1"
cat ("String 1 is : ", str1)
 
# creating a string with single quotes
str2 <- 'OK2'
cat ("String 2 is : ", str2)
str3 <- "This is 'acceptable and 'allowed' in R"
cat ("String 3 is : ", str3)
str4 <- 'Hi, Wondering "if this "works"'
cat ("String 4 is : ", str4)
str5 <- 'hi, ' this is not allowed'
cat ("String 5 is : ", str5)


Output

String 1 is:  OK1
String 2 is:  OK2
String 3 is:  This is 'acceptable and 'allowed' in R
String 4 is:  Hi, Wondering "if this "works"
Error: unexpected symbol in "        str5 <- 'hi, ' this"
Execution halted
