Tena koe Anna [ is for subsetting, you need c():
x <- c(10.4, 5.6, 3.1, 6.4, 21.7) y <- c(12, 5.6, 7.2, 1.0, 9.3) plot(x, y) HTH .... Peter Alspach -----Original Message----- From: r-help-boun...@r-project.org [mailto:r-help-boun...@r-project.org] On Behalf Of Anna Olofsson Sent: Wednesday, 11 January 2012 11:02 a.m. To: r-help@r-project.org Subject: [R] help Hi, I'm pretty new at programming and with the R language. I'm just trying to get familiar with R and wrote a script in gedit (should I use emacs instead?), x <- [10.4 5.6 3.1 6.4 21.7] y <- [12,5.6, 7.2, 1.0, 9.3] plot(x,y) then I went to the command window in the terminal (I'm using unix) to run this with source("name_of_file"), but it doesn't work. Shouldn't a plot come up automatically when I run it? What am I doing wrong? It knows what x and y is, but I don't get an error of what might be wrong. > source("name_of_file") > x [1] 10.4 5.6 3.1 6.4 21.7 Best, Anna ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
