Looping over multiple lists with base R -

in python can this..

numbers = [1, 2, 3] characters = ['foo', 'bar', 'baz']  item in zip(numbers, characters):     print(item[0], item[1])  (1, 'foo') (2, 'bar') (3, 'baz') 

we can unpack tuple rather using index.

for num, char in zip(numbers, characters):     print(num, char)  (1, 'foo') (2, 'bar') (3, 'baz') 

how can same using base r?

to in r-native way, you'd use idea of data frame. data frame has multiple variables can of different types, , each row observation of each variable.

d <- data.frame(numbers = c(1, 2, 3),                 characters = c('foo', 'bar', 'baz')) d ##   numbers characters ## 1       1        foo ## 2       2        bar ## 3       3        baz 

you access each row using matrix notation, leaving index blank includes everything.

d[1,] ##   numbers characters ## 1       1        foo 

you can loop on rows of data frame whatever want do, presumably want more interesting printing.

for(i in seq_len(nrow(d))) {   print(d[i,]) } ##   numbers characters ## 1       1        foo ##   numbers characters ## 2       2        bar ##   numbers characters ## 3       3        baz
