The following *might* be of use to you. If you can predict what the various

lexical scoping works in R (contrary or supplementary opinions welcome).

No, there are lots of situations where that doesn't make sense. You
don't want to have to define local copies of the functions from every
package you use, for example.
I think the takeaway is to learn how R scoping works, and keep things
simple. That's one reason I tend to avoid "tidyverse"
Dear Duncan,
THanks for the reply...!
So the takeaway is that define the symbol in the same environment before using
it right!?
Thanking you,

You can't change the basic way R searches, but you can ask for a
different kind of search. For example, to see if "x" exists, you can use
exists("x")
and it will do the default search, but
exists("x", inherits = FALSE)
will only look in the current environment. The get() function has a

Dear Duncan,
THanks for the reply.
I am looking at the technical point. The behavior you just described, as far as
I know, is only for functions right? THre is no documentation ever, which says
that the code looks for x in the search path. Could you please point me to so
Dear Deepayan,
THanks for the pithy, pointed reply.
But isn't it risky? Can I somehow get a warning when x is not defined in the
global environment but takes on a value from one of the loaded packages? any
packages for that?
THanking you,

Namespaces. Packages only export specific object names from their namespaces.
But few instances of x would be found there.
Also, function argument lists are not added to the search path until the
functions are running, and then the search path only goes through the
environments in which the run

Originally this post was to just look at execution times for different
approaches to solving this problem.
Now I have a question:
I change the code for calculating a1 from c(c1, c2) to data.frame(c(c1,c2)).
This changes the execution times of all the other variables. What am I missing?

Just to repeat:
you have
NamesWide<-data.frame(Name1=c("Tom","Dick"),Name2=c("Larry","Curly"))
and you want
NamesLong<-data.frame(Names=c("Tom","Dick","Larry","Curly"))
There must be something I am missing, because
NamesLong <- data.frame(Names = c(NamesWide$Name1, NamesWide$Name2))
Hi,
or maybe this?
NamesLong<-data.frame(Names=unlist(NamesWide), row.names = NULL)
