r - 粘贴()和粘贴0()之间的区别

Question

作为R新手，有人可以解释一下paste()和paste0()之间的区别吗，我从一些帖子中了解到的是

paste0("a", "b") === paste("a", "b", sep="")

即使我尝试过这样的事情

a <- c("a","b","c")
b <- c("y","w","q")
paste(a,b,sep = "_")
**output**
"a_y" "b_w" "c_q"

使用paste0()

a <- c("a","b","c")
b <- c("y","w","q")
paste0(a,b,sep = "_")
**output**
"ay_" "bw_" "cq_"

只是paste()在元素之间使用分隔符而paste0()在元素之后使用分隔符吗？

如上所述in this blog by Tyler Rinker :

paste has 3 arguments.

paste (..., sep = " ", collapse = NULL) The ... is the stuff you want to paste together and sep and collapse are the guys to get it done. There are three basic things I paste together:

• A bunch of individual character strings.
• 2 or more strings pasted element for element.
• One string smushed together.

Here's an example of each, though not with the correct arguments

paste("A", 1, "%") #A bunch of individual character strings.

paste(1:4, letters[1:4]) #2 or more strings pasted element for element.

paste(1:10) #One string smushed together. Here's the sep/collapse rule for each:

• A bunch of individual character strings – You want sep
• 2 or more strings pasted element for element. – You want sep
• One string smushed together.- Smushin requires collapse

paste0 is short for: paste(x, sep="") So it allows us to be lazier and more efficient.

paste0("a", "b") == paste("a", "b", sep="") ## [1] TRUE
