[R] string concatenation

[Jiefei Wang]

Hi,

Thanks for clarifying, there is no quote in the result. The quote in the
output is just R's way to tell you that the variable got printed is a
string. If you add quotes around a string, it will get printed like

"\"Alice, Bob, Charles\""

I hope this helps.

Best,
Jiefei
