How to print string vectors vertically in R?

To print string vectors vertically in R, we can follow the below steps −

• First of all, create a vector.
• Then, use cat function to print the vector vertically.

Example 1 

Let's create a vector as shown below −

 Live Demo

Alphabets<-LETTERS[1:26]
Alphabets

On executing, the above script generates the below output(this output will vary on your system due to randomization) −

[1] "A" "B" "C" "D" "E" "F" "G" "H" "I" "J" "K" "L" "M" "N" "O" "P" "Q" "R" "S"
[20] "T" "U" "V" "W" "X" "Y" "Z"

Print the vector vertically

Using cat function to print the Alphabets vector in vertical form −

 Live Demo

Alphabets<-LETTERS[1:26]
cat(paste("\t",Alphabets,"
",sep ="\""))

Output

“A”
“B”
“C”
“D”
“E”
“F”
“G”
“H”
“I”
“J”
“K”
“L”
“M”
“N”
“O”
“P”
“Q”
“R”
“S”
“T”
“U”
“V”
“W”
“X”
“Y”
“Z”

Example 2

Let's create a vector as shown below −

 Live Demo

US_States<-c("AK", "AL", "AR", "AS", "AZ", "CA", "CO", "CT", "DC", "DE", "FL",
"GA", "GU", "HI", "IA", "ID", "IL", "IN", "KS", "KY", "LA", "MA", "MD", "ME",
"MI", "MN", "MO", "MP", "MS", "MT", "NC", "ND", "NE", "NH", "NJ", "NM", "NV",
"NY", "OH", "OK", "OR", "PA", "PR", "RI", "SC", "SD", "TN", "TX", "UM", "UT",
"VA", "VI", "VT", "WA", "WI", "WV", "WY")
US_States

On executing, the above script generates the below output(this output will vary on your system due to randomization) −

[1] "AK" "AL" "AR" "AS" "AZ" "CA" "CO" "CT" "DC" "DE" "FL" "GA" "GU" "HI"
"IA"
[16] "ID" "IL" "IN" "KS" "KY" "LA" "MA" "MD" "ME" "MI" "MN" "MO" "MP" "MS"
"MT"
[31] "NC" "ND" "NE" "NH" "NJ" "NM" "NV" "NY" "OH" "OK" "OR" "PA" "PR" "RI"
"SC"
[46] "SD" "TN" "TX" "UM" "UT" "VA" "VI" "VT" "WA" "WI" "WV" "WY"
