[R] c() question

[Eric Lecoutre]

Hi,

Try to assign the names to your vector after having created it.
It works and it will also simplify your code.

my.group <- c("one group", "other group")
class.weight <- c(1,2)
my.order <- c(2,1)
my.vector <- class.weight[my.order]
names(my.vector) <- my.group

 > my.vector
   one group other group
           2           1
