I wonder if there is a simple way to produce a list of variables using a for loop, and give its value.
 
for(i in 1:3)
{
  noquote(paste("a",i,sep=""))=i
}
 
In the above code, I try to create a1, a2, a3, which assign to the values of 1, 2, 3. However, R gives an error message. Thanks for your help.
