Do your homework before posting 7. Proofread your post 8. Be courteous to other forum members 9. Remember that the archive of your question can be helpful to others 10.

33. I’m trying to create the following vector in R: "1

    a" "2 b" "3 c" "4 d" "5 e” So I define X to be 1 : 5 and Y to be the first 5 letters of the alphabet, but when I add them I get the following error. Error in x + y : non - numeric argument to binary operator 🤷 Q
