Dear R Users: I'm a STATA user converting to R, and I'd like to be to do the following. #Assign var_1 and var_2 a value 10->var1 20->var2
#Now I'd like to print the values of var_1 and var_2 by looping through var_1 and var_2 in such a manner: while(y<3){ print(var_y) y+1->y } In STATA, the "y" appended to " var_" is called the local variable and the code would look like this: while y<3 ( display var`y' y=y+1 ) Stata would understand that `y' is first 1 and then 2, and print out the values assigned to var_1 and var_2. Is there a way to do this in R? How would R users fram this questions even? What terminology would you use?
