hello everybody, i have got a question about lists: i have got the following commands: mylist <- list("v1"=c(1,2,2,1),"v2"=c(2,2,2,1),"v3"=c(1,1,1,1)) myvector <- c(100,10000,1000000) now i would like to multiply each element of the list with the corresponding element of the vector, that is to say: v1*100 v2*10000 v3*1000000 i only could think of lapply

hello, i am familiar with the paste command with which i can paste for exaple: object <- "Hello" paste(object,"World") now i would like to be able to paste all the elements of the same vector together e.g: object <- c("Hello","World") getting as a result also: "Hello World". Does anyone know the solution to this problem? Thank you

Hello, I have got another problem. I wrote a function which is able to create plots with different numbers of bars. In order to give them a similar look I determined the width of the bars using the parameters width=0.59 AND ylim=c(0,10)) (see function below) Now, this only works if I have just got up to 6 double bars. In the following example it doesn't work because the bars for the
