How to combine two vectors in R ?

In this article, we will learn how to combine two vectors in R Programming Language. We can combine two or more vectors using function c() itself. While using function c() All arguments are coerced to a common type which is the type of the returned value.

Syntax: c(...)

Parameters:

• …: arguments to be combined

Returns: A vector

Steps -

• Create vectors to be combined
• Combine them using c()
• Display combined result

Example 1: Vectors of the same data type will give the vector of input data type as result. 

Output:

[1]  1  2  8  5  8  9 10

typeof a double  typeof b double typeof c double 

[1] "geek"  "for"   "geek"  "hello" "coder"

typeof a character  typeof b character typeof c character 

[1]  TRUE FALSE    NA  TRUE FALSE

typeof a logical  typeof b logical typeof c logical 

While combining vectors of type double and character, character and logical, double and logical c() function return vector of a type character, character, double respectively.

Example 2: 

Output:

[1] "1"     "2"     "8"     "hello" "coder"

typeof a double  typeof b character typeof c character 

[1] "geek"  "for"   "geek"  "TRUE"  "FALSE"

typeof a character  typeof b logical typeof c character 

[1] 1 2 8 1 0

typeof a double  typeof b logical typeof c double
