iterative variable names

Hi,

I'm trying to assign iterative names to variable, but all my attempts have
failed. I have a loop, and for every iteration, I need to create a variable,
and I'd like to name them iteratively, such as:

for(i in 1:10)
{
   x_i <- c(values)
}

I need it to return ten variables: x_1, x_2, ..., x_10

How can I do it?

Thank you very much!
Beatriz

You actually want to create a list of objects that you return in the end.

?assign

for (i in 1:10) assign(paste('x_', i, sep = ''), i)

but before you do this, consider using a 'list'; check the archives since this is asked a lot.

If assign(paste('x_', i)) works better for your case than using a list or array , you must surely have a very strange case....
