Value

A named list. Each element is named after the variable passed to the function (or the explicit name if provided). The structure is identical to a standard R list created with list.

Examples

x <- 1:5
y <- letters[1:3]
z <- matrix(1:4, nrow = 2)

# Create named list from objects
my_list <- list2(x, y, z)
names(my_list)  # "x" "y" "z"

# Works with explicit names too
my_list2 <- list2(a = x, b = y)
names(my_list2)  # "a" "b"
