convert a string to an array in R

Code snippet on how to convert a string to an array in R

  my_string <- "A,B,C"
  my_array <- strsplit(my_string, ",")

This code snippet demonstrates how to convert a string to an array in R. The first line assigns the string “A,B,C” to the variable my_string. The next line breaks the string into an array using the strsplit() function. The strsplit() function takes two arguments, the first being the string to split and the second being the delimiter. In this case, the delimiter is a comma, so the function reads the string “A,B,C” and creates an array with three elements (A, B, and C). The resulting array is assigned to the variable my_array.
