I would suggest that you use a list to store the values since it is easier to create and reference:
> output <- list() > for (i in 1:10) output[[i]] <- seq(i) > > output [[1]] [1] 1 [[2]] [1] 1 2 [[3]] [1] 1 2 3 [[4]] [1] 1 2 3 4 [[5]] [1] 1 2 3 4 5 [[6]] [1] 1 2 3 4 5 6 [[7]] [1] 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 [[8]] [1] 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 [[9]] [1] 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 [[10]] [1] 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 > On Sat, Sep 6, 2008 at 5:33 PM, shalu <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I am trying to define 25 vectors of varying lengths, say y1 to y25 in a loop, > and then store the results of some computations in them.
