R help - Aug 2007 - Data structure in R

Hi,

I have a question around how to build data structure in R. I have to implement a
tree structure of data. I'm wondering if R already has something like a tree
where I can extend from or I need to start from scratch. If so, what would be
the most effective way to represent parent and child node relationship? I
realize that R is not based on pointer so it's quite a different paradigm
for me to code this. Thank you.

Hi Adschai,

R has a class for tree-like structures.  See the 'tree' package.
