# How to print the vector elements vertically in R?

R ProgrammingServer Side ProgrammingProgramming

By default, the vector elements are printed horizontally in R environment, suppose a vector x has five values then they will be printed as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. And if we want to print them vertically then the output will be −

1
2
3
4
5

The printing of these values in vertical form can be done by using the below command −

cat(paste(x),sep="\n")

## Example

x1<-rnorm(20)
x1

## Output
