Vector is most basic data types and most simple one. it can be construct via c( ....) function .("c" stands for "Combine" ).
Creating vector via 3 method is OK .
> x <- c(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9) #1
> c(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9) -> z #2

Indexing vector in R
Simple Select:
for example, we initiate a simple vector with numeric values to illustrate element select methods .
x <- c(-1986,11,-20,2012,-2,25)
Single Select : we can get a single value by pass in a location sequence into a bracket as blow:
> x <- c(-1986,11,-20,2012,-2,25)
> x[3]
[1] -20
Pls be noted that all indexing in R is started with 1 other than 0 ,quite different from most other language such as Python , C/C++ Java.
