[R] Simple question, name of the variable as string.
Dear R users, I have a very simple question and I've tried to search for the answer. (But failed.) there should be a function (func) that work like abc - c(1,2,3,4) func(abc) abc I would like to know the name of that function. Thank you very much for your help.

Think: where does R do this? Answer: zzz = 1:10 ; plot(zzz) # look at the y axis. How did it do this? Look at the code. Type 'plot' without () and there's the code. Somewhere in there you will see where it sets the Y axis label, or ylab. Then read and understand the help pages for those functions. What happens if I do func(c(1,2,3,4))? What's the name of 'c(1,2,3,4)'? Its a good way to learn.
