[R] How to assign names in a list

[john seers (IFR)]

Hi All

How can you associate names with a list when names have not been
assigned? For example if you have a list like this:

list2<-list(1,2,3)
list2

[[1]]
[1] 1

[[2]]
[1] 2

[[3]]
[1] 3

How do you make it look like this with names? :

f1<-1
f2<-2
f3<-3
list1<-list(name1=f1, name2=f2, name3=f3)
list1
$name1
[1] 1

$name2
[1] 2

$name3
[1] 3

Thanks for any help.

I expect there is a simple answer but I cannot find it ...

Regards

John

If I understand correctly:

names(list2) <- paste("name", 1:3, sep = "")

Thanks Henrique and Nathalie for your answers.

Very strange - I thought I had tried that and it had not worked so I came to the conclusion that names did not work on lists. Now it does work, so I must have had some finger trouble.
