unlist()
function in R Language is used to convert a list to vector. It simplifies to produce a vector by preserving all components.
Syntax: unlist(list)
Parameters:
list: It is a list or Vector
use.name: Boolean value to prserve or not the position names
Example 1: Converting list numeric vector into a single vector
# R program to illustrate # converting list to vector # Creating a list. my_list <- list(l1 = c(1, 3, 5, 7), l2 = c(1, 2, 3), l3 = c(1, 1, 10, 5, 8, 65, 90)) # Apply unlist R function print(unlist(my_list))
Output:
l11 l12 l13 l14 l21 l22 l23 l31 l32 l33 l34 l35 l36 l37 1 3 5 7 1 2 3 1 1 10 5 8 65 90
Here in the above code we have unlisted my_list using unlist()
and convert it to a single vector.
As illustrated above, the list will dissolve and every element will be in the same line as shown above.
Example 2: Unlisting list with dataframe:
# R program to illustrate # Unlisting list with data frame # Creating a list. my_list <- list(l1 = c(1, 3, 5, 7), l2 = c(1, 2, 3), l3 = c(1, 1, 10, 5, 8, 65, 90)) # Create modified list my_list_2 <- my_list # Add a data frame to the list my_list_2[[4]] <- data.frame(x1 = c(1, 2, 3), x2 = c(4, 5, 6)) # Unlist list with data.frame print(unlist(my_list_2, use.names = FALSE))
Output:
[1] 1 3 5 7 1 2 3 1 1 10 5 8 65 90 1 2 3 4 5 6
Here in the above code we have modified the previous list and added new elements to “my_list_2” and used the function unlist()
on it.
Also we set the “use.name” parameter to “FALSE” so we will not see the position names of the values in the vector.
