Programming Language

A list is a generic object consisting of an ordered collection of objects. Lists are heterogeneous data structures. These are also one-dimensional data structures. A list can be a list of vectors, list of matrices, a list of characters and a list of functions and so on.

Example:

# R program to illustrate a List
 
# The first attributes is a numeric vector
# containing the employee IDs which is
# created using the 'c' command here
empId = c(1, 2, 3, 4)
 
# The second attribute is the employee name
# which is created using this line of code here
# which is the character vector
empName = c("Debi", "Sandeep", "Subham", "Shiba")
 
# The third attribute is the number of employees
# which is a single numeric variable.
numberOfEmp = 4
 
# We can combine all these three different
# data types into a list
# containing the details of employees
# which can be done using a list command
empList = list(empId, empName, numberOfEmp)
 
print(empList)

Output:

[[1]]
[1] 1 2 3 4

[[2]]
[1] "Debi"    "Sandeep" "Subham"  "Shiba"  

[[3]]
[1] 4
