Create Dataframe from vector rowwise

Question

Is there a way to create a dataframe from 2 vectors row wise?

list1<- c('a','b','c')
list2<- c('x','y','z')

I'd like to create a DF from these 2 lists such that each of these 2 lists is a row in the DF.

One option is data.frame

data.frame(x = list1, y = list2)
#   x y
#1 a x
#2 b y
#3 c z

Or if it should be otherway, use rbind

setNames(rbind.data.frame(list1, list2), c("x", "y"))

no, out of the 2 suggestions you provided, 2nd one works fine. Thanks for your help.

@user3510503 it is better to provide example that mimics the correct structure of your data.

You could also use bind_rows

df <- bind_rows(x = list1, y = list2)

Output:

  x     y    
  <chr> <chr>
1 a     x    
2 b     y    
3 c     z
