Iterating over characters of string R

Question

Could somebody explain me why this does not print all the numbers separately in R.

numberstring <- \"0123456789\"

for (number in numberstring) {
  print(num         


        

Answer 1

Your question is not 100% clear as to the desired outcome (print each character individually from a string, or store each number in a way that the given print loop will result in each number being produced on its own line). To store numberstring such that it prints using the loop you included:

numberstring<-c(0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9)
for(number in numberstring){print(number);}

[1] 0
[1] 1
[1] 2
[1] 3
[1] 4
[1] 5
[1] 6
[1] 7
[1] 8
[1] 9
