Certainly! Here's an example of an invalid variable name in R:

2variable <- 10
 

In this example, the variable name "2variable" starts with a number, which is not allowed in R. Variable names in R must start with a letter or a period (.) followed by a letter. They can contain alphanumeric characters (letters and numbers) and underscores, but they should not start with a number.

To make this variable name valid, you could modify it by adding a letter or changing the order, such as:

variable2 <- 10
v2ariable <- 10
 

Both of these variable names start with a letter, making them valid in R. Remember, choosing descriptive and meaningful names for your variables will improve the readability and maintainability of your code.
