# Define Lists
ls_num <- list(1,2,3)

ls_num_str <- list(1,2,'3')

# Named Lists
ar_st_names <- c('e1','e2','e3')
ls_num_str_named <- ls_num_str
names(ls_num_str_named) <- ar_st_names

# Add Element to Named List
ls_num_str_named$e4 <- 'this is added'

ff_sup_lst2str(ls_num)
ff_sup_lst2str(ls_str)
ff_sup_lst2str(ls_num_str)
ff_sup_lst2str(ls_num_str_named)

ff_sup_lst2str(ls_num[2:3])
ff_sup_lst2str(ls_str[2:3])
ff_sup_lst2str(ls_num_str[2:4])
ff_sup_lst2str(ls_num_str_named[c('e2','e3','e4')])
