How to Apply the as.name() & is.name() Functions in R (Example Code)

my_string <- "whatever"          # Exemplifying character string

my_string <- "whatever" # Exemplifying character string

class(my_string)                 # Testing class of character string
# "character"

class(my_string) # Testing class of character string # "character"

my_name <- as.name(my_string)    # Conversion

my_name <- as.name(my_string) # Conversion

class(my_name)                   # Testing class
# "name"

class(my_name) # Testing class # "name"

is.name(my_name)                 # Return logical whether object is name
# TRUE

is.name(my_name) # Return logical whether object is name # TRUE
