How to Combine Two Vectors in R (With Examples)

by Tutor Aspire

You can use one of the following methods to combine two vectors in R:

Method 1: Combine Two Vectors Into One Vector

new_vector 

Method 2: Combine Two Vectors Into a Matrix

new_matrix 

Method 3: Combine Two Vectors Into a Data Frame

new_df frame(vector1, vector2)

The following examples show how to use each method in practice.

Method 1: Combine Two Vectors Into One Vector

The following code shows how to combine two vectors into one new vector:

#define vectors
vector1 #combine two vectors into one vector
new_vector #view resulting vector
new_vector

[1]  1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9 10

Method 2: Combine Two Vectors Into a Matrix

The following code shows how to combine two vectors into a matrix:

#define vectors
vector1 #combine two vectors into matrix
new_matrix #view resulting matrix
new_matrix

     vector1 vector2
[1,]       1       6
[2,]       2       7
[3,]       3       8
[4,]       4       9
[5,]       5      10

Method 3: Combine Two Vectors Into a Data Frame

The following code shows how to combine two vectors into a data frame:

#define vectors
vector1 #combine two vectors into data frame
new_df frame(vector1, vector2)

#view resulting data frame
new_df

  vector1 vector2
1       1       6
2       2       7
3       3       8
4       4       9
5       5      10

Notice that each original vector is now a unique column in the resulting data frame.
