R help - May 2014 - How to create multi variables

Hi, everyone

I want to create a series of variables (e.g. t1, t2..., t10) which could 
be used in loops. My idea is to use function "assign"

for (i in 1:10)
{
   assign(paste("t",i,sep=""), FUN) # allocate the value
from FUN to
variable ti
}

But when I create a vector containing the names of these variables and 
want to use the variables according to the subscript, it doesn't works.

t<-noquote(paste("t",1:10,sep=""))
t[1]
t1
it returns only the name of variable t1, but not the value allocated to 
t1 by FUN. So what should I do to realize this?

Or is there any better way to do this?

Can we define a series of variables which can be used according to the 
subscript like
t<-f(t1, t2..., t10),
then we have 10 variables which can be used directly?
for(i in 1:10)
{
    t[i]<-FUN# with the fines variables we can directly assign the value 
of FUN to ti
}
These are just my thoughts, I don't know whether there are available R 
codes to realized it. I am looking forward any help from you.

Thanks in advance!

What is wrong with

myvec <- vector( "numeric", 10 )
for ( i in 1:10 ) {
  myvec[ i ] <- i
}

?

If you are using assign, IMHO you are probably doing whatever you are doing
wrong.

If you want named elements, give the vector names:

names( myvec ) <- paste0( "t", 1:10 )

and you can refer to them

myvec[ "t3" ]

Go read the "Introduction to R" document again... particularly the
discussion of indexing.
