We can perform string concatenation in R language using the paste() and cat() methods.
In this tutorial, let us explore the various methods available to concatenate strings in r and how to use these methods with examples.
How to Concatenate Strings in R?
String concatenation is a process of joining two or more strings into a single string. R language provides two different methods for string concatenation.
Concatenate Strings using the paste() method in R
paste() method is the most common and widely used method for string concatenation in R. 
The paste() method can take multiple strings as an input, combine them, and return a concatenated string as an output.
Syntax
paste(string1, string2, …stringn, sep = “”, collapse=NULL)
Parameters
string1, string2, …stringn: Input strings that need to be concatenated.
sep: The separator that needs to be appended during the concatenation. If you don’t pass this argument, it will take space as the default separator.
collapse : an optional character string to separate the results.
