[R] Adding values to the end of a data frame

[Dennis Murphy]

Alas, you don't have a suffix2 object defined, but try this:

d1 <- one(prefix, roots)
d2 <- one(roots, suffix)
rbind(d1, d2)

To see a potential flaw in your function (as least as far as console
output is concerned), try
rbind(d1, one(roots, suffix))

HTH,
Dennis
