Replicate Elements

Description

rep replicates the values in x according to the values given in times and length.out.

If times consists of a single integer, the result consists of the values in x repeated this many times. If times is a vector of the same length as x, the result consists of x[1] repeated times[1] times, x[2] repeated times[2] times and so on.

length.out may be given in place of times, in which case x is repeated as many times as is necessary to create a vector of this length.

Usage

rep(x, times, length.out)

See Also

seq, sequence.

Examples

rep(1:4,2)
rep(1:4,c(2,2,2,2))
