How do I create an object name in R [duplicate]

Question

I'd like to use the value of a variable as part of the name of an object to make the creation of new objects with names that I don't have to list out explicitly. An example:

Here is what I don't want to do, declare every single name for 10 objects going down the list from 1 to 10.

a=41:50

a1=a[1]
a2=a[2]
a3=a[3]
a4=a[4]
a5=a[5]
a6=a[6]....

Here is what would make more sense - just putting the name some how as "a" and then combined with the value of i in the loop. Does the same thing, creates 10 objects.

for(i in 1:10){
a#paste.in.the.value.of.i.somehow...=a[i]
}

Thanks for you help!

Answer 1

 for(i in 1:10) {assign(paste0("a", i), a[i])}
 a1
 #[1] 41
 a2
 #[1] 42
 a3
 #[1] 43
