R Error in x$ed : $ operator is invalid for atomic vectors

Question

Here is my code:

x<-c(1,2)
x
names(x)<- c(\"bob\",\"ed\")
x$ed

Why do I get the following error?

Error in x$ed

Answer 1

You get this error, despite everything being in line, because of a conflict caused by one of the packages that are currently loaded in your R environment.

So, to solve this issue, detach all the packages that are not needed from the R environment. For example, when I had the same issue, I did the following:

detach(package:neuralnet)

bottom line: detach all the libraries no longer needed for execution... and the problem will be solved.
