How to execute a character vector in R?

Question

I tried using the paste command, but does it return the same vector?

x = c("a","b","c")
y = paste(x)
y
[1] "a" "b" "c"
length(y)
[1] 3

I need one character "abc"

Answer 1

Parameters collapse=""are your friend:

> x <- c("a", "b", "c")
> paste(x, collapse="")
[1] "abc"
