tidyverse - Join 3 columns of different lengths in R

Tidyverse - Join 3 columns of different lengths in R

In the tidyverse package in R, you can use the dplyr library to join columns of different lengths using the bind_rows or bind_cols functions. Here's an example demonstrating how to join three columns of different lengths:

library(dplyr) # Example data column1 <- c("A", "B", "C") column2 <- c(1, 2, 3, 4) column3 <- c("X", "Y", "Z", "W", "V") # Join columns using bind_rows joined_data <- bind_rows( tibble(column1 = column1), tibble(column2 = column2), tibble(column3 = column3) ) # Print the joined data print(joined_data)

In this example:

  • column1 has length 3,
  • column2 has length 4, and
  • column3 has length 5.

The bind_rows function is used to stack the columns on top of each other. The result is a data frame where missing values are filled with NA for columns that don't have values in certain rows.

Alternatively, if you want to join the columns side by side, you can use the bind_cols function:

library(dplyr) # Example data column1 <- c("A", "B", "C") column2 <- c(1, 2, 3, 4) column3 <- c("X", "Y", "Z", "W", "V") # Join columns using bind_cols joined_data <- bind_cols( tibble(column1 = column1), tibble(column2 = column2), tibble(column3 = column3) ) # Print the joined data print(joined_data)

In this case, the result will be a data frame with three columns side by side, and missing values are filled with NA.

Choose between bind_rows and bind_cols based on whether you want to stack the columns vertically or join them horizontally. Adjust the column names and data as per your specific use case.
