The Names Attribute of an Object
Usage
names(x, ...)
names.default(x)
names(x) <- value
Description
names is a generic accessor function to the names
attribute of an R object, typically a vector.
The first form prints the names of the observations
and the second sets the names.
In this case, value must be a vector of character strings of the
same length as x.Examples
# print the names attribute of the islands data set
names(islands)
# remove the names attribute
names(islands) <- NULL
# print the names attribute of the islands data set
names(islands)
# remove the names attribute
names(islands) <- NULL
