All, I have a long vector that contains an even number of entries. I'd like to switch the 1st and 2nd entry, the 3rd and 4th, and so on, without writing a loop.
This code works: X = c(8, 10, 6, 3, 20, 1) index = c(2,1,4,3,6,5) X[index] But for a long list is there a way to generate the index? I can get the parts to the index as: index.odd = seq(1,length(X), by = 2) index.even = index.odd + 1 Is there a simple way to interweave them to produce the desired index? Or is there a better way?
