How to remove names from a named vector in R?
To assign names to the values of vector, we can use names function and the removal of names can be done by using unname function. For example, if we have a vector x that has elements with names and we want to remove the names of those elements then we can use the command unname(x).
Example1
> x1<-1:50 > names(x1)<-sample(LETTERS[1:26],50,replace=TRUE) > x1
Output
