The c() function.

“c” stands for concatenate, cram together, or collect. It assembles whatever you put in it into a single vector.

Example

x = c(1,3,5)
x

## [1] 1 3 5

If the items are of different types, “coercion” will be used to make everything have a type that will accomodate all of the values.

x = c(1,2,"dog")
x

## [1] "1"   "2"   "dog"
