How to combine array of vectors in R?

To combine array of vectors we can use rbind function. For example, if we have multiple vectors say x, y, z of same size or different sizes but the total number of elements are even then we can use rbind(x,y,z) to combine those vectors. Check out the examples to understand how it works.

Example1

 Live Demo

x1<−rbind(rep(1,5),rep(2,5),rep(3,5))
x1

Output

   [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [,5]
[1,]  1   1    1    1   1
[2,]  2 2 2 2 2
[3,] 3 3 3 3 3
