I really don’t hate the paste function, it is actually quite useful when working with vectors. I just hate using it for simple string concatenation.
var = 4.345
paste0("The value is: ", var)## [1] "The value is: 4.345"Luckily, R has the functionality to create binary operators so I rolled my own string concatenation operator.
"%+%" = function(...) {paste0(...)}
"The value is: " %+% var## [1] "The value is: 4.345"To leave a comment for the author, please follow the link and comment on their blog: R-SquareD.
