How to create an alternately increasing sequence in R?


To create an alternately increasing sequence, we can take help of logical constants in the R language that is TRUE and FALSE. While creating a vector, the first value will be set to FALSE and the second value will be set to TRUE, therefore, the resulting vector will always have an alternately increasing sequence.

Check out the below given examples to understand how it works.

Example 1

To create an alternately increasing sequence in R, use the code given below −

x1<-c(1:200)[c(F,T)]
x1

If you execute the above given code, it generates the following output −

[1] 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 20 22 24 26 28 30 32 34 36
[19] 38 40 42 44 46 48 50 52 54 56 58 60 62 64 66 68 70 72
