The most simple data structure available in R is a vector. You can make vectors of numeric values, logical values, and character strings using the c()
function. For example:
c(1, 2, 3)
## [1] 1 2 3
c(TRUE, TRUE, FALSE)
## [1] TRUE TRUE FALSE
c("a", "b", "c")
## [1] "a" "b" "c"
You can also join to vectors using the c()
function.
x <- c(1, 2, 5)
y <- c(3, 4, 6)
z <- c(x, y)
z
## [1] 1 2 5 3 4 6
