Hi, I would like to ask how the paste(S1, S2, sep="") function internally works. Are the two stings copied to a new String?
I have a program where successively strings are build up. First the program calls an external function and depending on the result it builds up strings to visualize the result. The external function is really fast, also for huge input data. But the building of the strings takes much to long for huge input sizes. So I'm wondering if the concatenating could be the problem, like using String in Java instead of StringBuffer. Is there something like StringBuffers in R also? Thanks, T.
