Question

That’s probably a very easy one, but I cannot solve my issue. The below code returns an error:

person = c("name", "surname")
list(person[1]= "John")

Error : '=' unexpected in "list(person[1]="

I would like it to return:

$name
[1] "John"

Can StackOverflow help me with this?

Answer 1

Perhaps the following will be of use:

> p <- list("John", "Smith")
> names(p) <- c("name", "surname")
> p
$name
[1] "John"

$surname
[1] "Smith"
