Actually I'd say there were no ways of doing this, since I dont think you can actually insert into a vector - you have to create a new vector that produces the illusion of insertion!


Here's a Q+D function that fails if you try and insert at the start, or at the end. Its very D.

insert <- function(v,e,pos){
  return(c(v[1:(pos-1)],e,v[(pos):length(v)]))
}

 > v=c(1,2,3,4,6)

 > insert(v,5,5)
 [1] 1 2 3 4 5 6

Yay.

 > insert(v,5,1)
 [1] 1 5 1 2 3 4 6

Oops.

 Cant be bothered to fix it, the principle is there.
