unlist() function in
R Language is used to convert a list to vector. It simplifies to produce a vector by preserving all components.
Syntax: unlist(list)
Parameters:
list: It is a list or Vector
use.name: Boolean value to prserve or not the position names
Example 1: Converting list numeric vector into a single vector
Output:
l11 l12 l13 l14 l21 l22 l23 l31 l32 l33 l34 l35 l36 l37
1 3 5 7 1 2 3 1 1 10 5 8 65 90
Here in the above code we have unlisted my_list using
unlist() and convert it to a single vector.
As illustrated above, the list will dissolve and every element will be in the same line as shown above.
Example 2: Unlisting list with dataframe:
Output:
[1] 1 3 5 7 1 2 3 1 1 10 5 8 65 90 1 2 3 4 5 6
Here in the above code we have modified the previous list and added new elements to "my_list_2" and used the function
unlist() on it.
Also we set the "use.name" parameter to "FALSE" so we will not see the position names of the values in the vector.
