I have a question regarding updating a list

for example I have a string list,

a <-"aab"
b <-"aac"
c <-"aad"
...

newlist<-list(a,b,c...)

I would like to update add "c" for every element by using lapply. the expecting results would be:

> updated_list

[1]aabc
[2]aacc
[3]aadc
...

CodePudding user response：

You can use paste0 as the function argument to lapply:

updated_list <- lapply(newlist, function(x) paste0(x, "c"))

CodePudding user response：

Can also do

lapply(newlist, paste0, "c")

or

as.list(paste0(unlist(newlist), "c"))
