Sequence of integers
The functions you wrote in previous exercises performed calculations then returned a single number. You can also write functions that return a vector.
The syntax for creating a vector type is to specify the type of the vector followed by the name of the variable, followed by the number of elements in the vector, in parentheses. For example, to create a numeric vector named numbers
, containing 10
elements, the code would be as follows.
NumericVector numbers(10);
