How to Copy a List in R

How to Copy a List in R ?

In R, you can copy a list using the list() function or the list slice syntax.

In this example,

We create a list named original_list using the list() function with some elements.
We assign this list to another variable copied_list.
After the operation, copied_list contains all elements of original_list.
Finally, we print both lists to demonstrate the copy operation.

original_list <- list(a = 1, b = 2, c = 3)
copied_list <- list(original_list)
print(original_list)
print(copied_list)

List of 3
 $ a: num 1
 $ b: num 2
 $ c: num 3
List of 1
 $ :List of 3
  ..$ a: num 1
  ..$ b: num 2
  ..$ c: num 3

In this example,

original_list <- list(a = 1, b = 2, c = 3)
copied_list <- original_list[[]]
print(original_list)
print(copied_list)

List of 3
 $ a: num 1
 $ b: num 2
 $ c: num 3
List of 3
 $ a: num 1
 $ b: num 2
 $ c: num 3
