How do I print numeric values with a string in R

Question

I have a integer that has been assigned to a variable, I want to print that to the console but i get an error. Code and sample below

number <- 64
print("I want to print this number: " + number)

But instead I get the message: "Error: non-numeric argument to binary operator" I want to see something like

[1] "I want to print this number: 64"

Answer 1

Use sprintf

sprintf("I want to print this number: %i", number)
#[1] "I want to print this number: 64"

or paste0

paste0("I want to print this number: ", number)
#[1] "I want to print this number: 64"
