  • To set up a vector named x, say, consisting of five numbers, namely 10.4, 5.6, 3.1, 6.4 and 21.7, use the R command

    > x <- c(10.4, 5.6, 3.1, 6.4, 21.7)

    This is an assignment statement using the function c() which in this context can take an arbitrary number of vector arguments and whose value is a vector got by concatenating its arguments end to end.6

    A number occurring by itself in an expression is taken as a vector of length one.
