Hi AD, You might try the following:
# data a <- c(2,3,5) b <- c(8,7) # you got this wrong ;) # option 1 foo <- function(x) as.numeric(paste(x, sep = "", collapse = "")) # examples foo(a) # [1] 235 foo(b) # [1] 87 foo(a) + foo(b) # [1] 322 # option 2 foo2 <- function(x, y) foo(x) + foo(y) # example foo2(a, b) # [1] 322 See ?paste and ?as.numeric for more information.
