Mass variable declaration and assignment in R?

r, variable-assignment

Solution

If you want to assign the same value to multiple variables at once, use this:

some <- thing <- and <- another <- thing <- vector('list', length(files))

Problem

Apologies if this is a stupid question - but this my first attempt at using `R`, and i have ended up writting some code along the lines of: ``` some <- vector('list', length(files)) thing <- vector('list', length(files)) and <- vector('list', length(files)) another <- vector('list', length(files)) thing <- vector('list', length(files)) ``` Is there a nicer (DRY) way to do this in `R`? To rephrase, I want to assign the same value to multiple variables at once (as per @Sven Hohenstein's answer)
