How to create a List of Lists in R


How to create a List of Lists in R ?

Answer

In R, you can create a list of lists using the `list()` function and specifying lists as elements of the outer list.



✐ Examples

1 Create List of Lists

In this example,

  1. We create two inner lists named list1 and list2.
  2. We create an outer list named list_of_lists using the list() function and initialize it with the inner lists.
  3. Finally, we print the list of lists to standard output.

R Program

list1 <- c(1, 2, 3)
list2 <- c('a', 'b', 'c')
list_of_lists <- list(list1, list2)
print(list_of_lists)

Output

[[1, 2, 3], ['a', 'b', 'c']]

2 Create List of Lists with Empty Inner Lists

In this example,

  1. We create an empty outer list named list_of_lists_empty.
  2. We create two empty inner lists named list3 and list4.
  3. We use the list() function to add the inner lists list3 and list4 to the outer list list_of_lists_empty.
  4. Finally, we print the list of lists with empty inner lists to standard output.

R Program

list_of_lists_empty <- list()
list3 <- list()
list4 <- list()
list_of_lists_empty <- list(list3, list4)
print(list_of_lists_empty)

Output

[[], []]
