How to print a large number of values in R without index?


Whenever we print any vector then the left-hand side of the R window shows indexing, even if we have one value in the vector the index will be there. For example, if we print a vector that has value equal to 2 then the print output will be [1] 2, here [1] represents the index. If we want to print the vector without index then cat function can be used as shown in the below examples.
