assign a list using expression?
The purpose of this is not clear but depending on what a and b are you might be able to use a data frame (which is a list):
a <- 1:2; b <- 3:4 data.frame(a, b)
a b 1 1 3 2 2 4

Dear R-users, I would like to assign elements to a list in the following manner: mylist <- list(a = a, b = b, c = c) To do this I tried myexpr <- expression(a = a, b = b, c = c) mylist <- list( eval(myexpr) ) It ends up by overwriting a when b is assigned and b when c is assigned. Additionally the element of the list does not have a name. Could you tell me why this is the case? Thank you very much in advance! Best regards, Nils
