How to create a sequence increasing by 1 in R?


If a sequence is increasing by 1 that means for every value the total number of values increases by that much. For example, the values 1 1 2 1 2 3 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 5 are creating a sequence of values starting from 1 to 5. To create such type of sequences in R, we can simply use sequence function and pass the range as sequence(1:5).
