R – Create Vector

To create a vector in R programming, there are three ways: c() function, seq() function and : operator.

In this tutorial, we will learn how to create a vector using the the above mentioned ways.

Create Vector using c() Function

c() function combines values together. We can use this c() function to combine the given values and create a vector.

In the following R program, we will use c() function to create a vector of double values.

example.R

</>
Copy
x <- c(1, 4, 9, 16, 25)
cat(x)

Output

1 4 9 16 25

Create Vector using seq() Function

seq() function creates a sequence of values. We can use this seq() function to create a vector with sequence values.

In the following R program, we will use seq() function to create a vector of double values.

example.R

</>
Copy
x <- seq(0, 20, length.out=5)
cat(x)

Output

0 5 10 15 20

Create Vector using : Operator

: creates continuous values. We can use this : operator to create a vector with continuous values.

In the following R program, we will use : operator to create a vector.

example.R

</>
Copy
x <- 1:5
cat(x)

Output

1 2 3 4 5

Conclusion

In this R Tutorial, we learned how to create a vector in R language, using different functions like c(), seq(); and operators like :, with the help of examples.
