How to assign different name to data frame

Question

I have the code:

i<-1
while(i<5)
{
  df+i <-data.frame()
  df+i<-c(i,i+1)
  i<-i+1

}

Instead of i numbers are expected. I want to create objects df1 ,df2, df3, etc.

I tried assign(paste("a", i, sep = ""), i)

but its not working.

@Joshua Ulrich above link is not my expected answer.. that gives only create data frame but not adding value in it data+i — user3050374, Dec 04 '13 at 15:58
No, it's not _exactly_ your expected answer, but getting your expected answer is trivial using the linked question. Sorry, but I expected you to do _some_ work. — Joshua Ulrich, Dec 04 '13 at 17:01

Try this:

for (i in 1:5){assign(paste("df",i,sep=""),data.frame())}

Yes. What values? Please provide an example. – jlhoward Dec 04 '13 at 16:22

Does this mean you want each data frame to have 2 columns and 1 row, or 1 column and 2 rows? The way it's written you will get the latter. Just replace `data.frame()` with `data.frame(c(i,i+1))`. – jlhoward Dec 04 '13 at 16:54
is it possible to print in same loop i mean print(a+i)..any option?? – user3050374 Dec 04 '13 at 19:02
