I Hate You paste!

I really don’t hate the paste function, it is actually quite useful when working with vectors. I just hate using it for simple string concatenation.

var = 4.345
paste0("The value is: ", var)

## [1] "The value is: 4.345"

Luckily, R has the functionality to create binary operators so I rolled my own string concatenation operator.

"%+%" = function(...) {paste0(...)}

"The value is: " %+% var

## [1] "The value is: 4.345"
