How to remove space before dot using paste() function in R-CodePudding

I try to use the paste function to print some strings, and numeric in R such as:

method = "binomial"
b = 5
paste("The method is", a, "and the value is", b, ".")

and the result looks like

"The method is binomial and the result is 5 ."

How to remove the space between 5 and .? I want the result looks like

"The method is binomial and the value is 5."

If I am using the paste0("The method is", a, "and the value is", b, ".") the result looks like

"The method isbinomialand the result is5."

Thank you.

Use paste0:

paste0("The values are ", a, " and ", b, ".")
"The values are 4 and 5."

or paste("The values are ", a, " and ", b, ".", sep = "")

CodePudding user response：

Paste0(...) or paste(..., sep = "") work fine, but I find the glue() offers a clean way of concatenating strings, without lots of opening and closing quotes.

In this case:

glue::glue("The values are {a} and {b}.")
