I have a list with a set of dataframes called 'a' and the structure is as shown in the following picture

I have another list with a set of dataframes called 'b' and having the same names as in 'a' and the structure is as shown in the following picture

i would like to combine the two dataframes in two lists as per their names into one list with dataframes.

for this, I am using the following code

c <-  Map(cbind, a, b)

but, the code is not working as it is giving the following output

the expected output will look very similar to as shown in the following picture

for instance in a list of length 49, a dataframe with 241 rows and 14 columns

I don't know what is the issue with the code...... looking to solve this problem I have tried all the options avalibale in stactoverflow to solve the problem

Solution

  • the problem is with the structure of the two dataframes are different and the problem is solved by converting the structure of two lists into the same structure.

    i have converted the structure of list 'b' into tibble as

    b <- tibble::as_tibble(b)

    then we can use the code as following

    c <-  Map(cbind, a, b)

    this has worked solved my problem
