I'm not too sure this is any better: n<-5 c<-0; # establish result as numeric for(i in seq(n,1,-1)){ c<-c(c,seq(1,i)); str(c); }; #generate array c<-c[2:length(c)]; #remove the leading 0
If you're a fan of recursive programming: > mklist <- function(x) { if (x==1) return(1) else return( c(seq(1,x),mklist(x-1)) ) ; } > mklist(5); [1] 1 2 3 4 5 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 1 2 1 > Of course, I've not done any error checking in my function definition. And, for large values, it can nest too deeply and get Error: evaluation nested too deeply: infinite recursion / options(expressions=)?
