Create a Data Frame of Unequal Lengths

Question

While data frame columns must have the same number rows, is there any way to create a data frame of unequal lengths. I\'m not interested in saving them as separate elements

Answer 1

Similar problem:

 coin <- c("Head", "Tail")
toss <- sample(coin, 50, replace=TRUE)

categorize <- function(x,len){
  count_heads <- 0
  count_tails <- 0
  tails <- as.character()
  heads <- as.character()
  for(i in 1:len){
    if(x[i] == "Head"){
      heads <- c(heads,x[i])
      count_heads <- count_heads + 1
    }else {
      tails <- c(tails,x[i])
      count_tails <- count_tails + 1
    }
  }
  if(count_heads > count_tails){
    head <- heads
    tail <- c(tails, rep(NA, (count_heads-count_tails)))
  } else {
    head <- c(heads, rep(NA,(count_tails-count_heads)))
    tail <- tails
  }
  data.frame(cbind("Heads"=head, "Tails"=tail))
}

categorize(toss,50)

Output: After the toss of the coin there will be 31 Head and 19 Tail. Then the rest of the tail will be filled with NA in order to make a data frame.
