hi all i have a simple question: lets assume that i can enter a variable (a) equal to some value, say 100. obviously a could be any value. i would like to create a plot with a main heading as hi all "some writing" + a how would own create a string by combining a string with a numeric variable? hope the question is not too confusing. e.g. say a=5 then i want something like plot(x, main="some writing"+a) this obviously does not work since the syntax is incorrect. thankful for your replies.
Use paste(), which coerces non-character arguments into characters before concatenating them.

hi all
i have a simple question:
lets assume that i can enter a variable (a) equal to some value, say
100. obviously a could be any value. i would like to create a plot with
a main heading as
hi all
"some writing" + a
how would own create a string by combining a string with a numeric
variable?
hope the question is not too confusing.
e.g. say a=5 then i want something like plot(x, main="some
writing"+a)
this obviously does not work since the syntax is incorrect.
thankful for your replies.

Hi Allan,
look at ?paste, e.g.,
a <- 10
plot(1:10, 1:10, main=paste("The value of a is", a))
I hope it helps.
Best,
Dimitris
