How to combine two lists in R
I have two lists:
l1 = list(2, 3)
l2 = list(4)
I want a third list:
list(2, 3, 4).
How can I do it in simple way. Although I can do it in for loop, but I am expecting a one liner answer, or maybe an in-built method.
Actually, I have a list:list(list(2, 3), list(2, 4), list(3, 5), list(3, 7), list(5, 6), list(5, 7), list(6, 7)).
After computing on list(2, 3)
and list(2, 4)
, I want list(2, 3, 4)
.
Solution 1:
c
can be used on lists (and not only on vectors):
# you have
l1 = list(2, 3)
l2 = list(4)
# you want
list(2, 3, 4)
[[1]]
[1] 2
[[2]]
[1] 3
[[3]]
[1] 4
# you can do
c(l1, l2)
[[1]]
[1] 2
[[2]]
[1] 3
[[3]]
[1] 4
If you have a list of lists, you can do it (perhaps) more comfortably with do.call
, eg:
do.call(c, list(l1, l2))
Solution 2:
We can use append
append(l1, l2)
It also has arguments to insert element at a particular location.
