I like to do this: print(c('x=',x)) The output format is messy but all and all it is most convenient and flexible method I know (it works INSIDE FUNCTIONS unlike the sprintf solution & it can handle more data types too).

It is much faster to type than: print(paste('x=',x)). Which is rather cumbersome for a simple print function!

Notable Alternative: cat('x=',x,'\n')

I tend to avoid this also because I find it tedius to always specify the newline character. Although technically it was 'the function' that was invented to easily do what you are asking, it was designed poorly IMO.

I'd suggest using sprintf function. The advantage of this function is, that the variables can be of any class (here, c is numeric).

a="Hello"
b="EKA"
c=123456

sprintf("%s !! my name is %s and my number is %i", a, b, c)
