Requirements

You need the free software R : go to R for Windows, R for Mac or R for Linux to install it. We also highly recommend the integrated development environment RStudio.

Code

assign("new_variable",5)
new_variable

## [1] 5

Create a string from a variable

deparse(substitute(new_variable))

## [1] "new_variable"
