Prepend a vector

This function was deprecated in purrr 1.0.0 and is now defunct because it's not related to the core purpose of purrr.

This is a companion to append() to help merging two lists or atomic vectors. prepend() is a clearer semantic signal than c() that a vector is to be merged at the beginning of another, especially in a pipe chain.

Usage

prepend(x, values, before = NULL)

Arguments

x

the vector to be modified.

values

to be included in the modified vector.

before

a subscript, before which the values are to be appended. If NULL, values will be appended at the beginning even for x of length 0.

Value

A merged vector.

Examples

x <- as.list(1:3)

# Instead of prepend(), use append():
x |> append("a", after = 0)
#> [[1]]
#> [1] "a"
#> 
#> [[2]]
#> [1] 1
#> 
#> [[3]]
#> [1] 2
#> 
#> [[4]]
#> [1] 3
#> 
x |> append(list("a", "b"), after = 2)
#> [[1]]
#> [1] 1
#> 
#> [[2]]
#> [1] 2
#> 
#> [[3]]
#> [1] "a"
#> 
#> [[4]]
#> [1] "b"
#> 
#> [[5]]
#> [1] 3
