R Programming: Extract every nth element of a given vector

R Programming: Vector Exercise-17 with Solution

Write a R program to extract every nth element of a given vector.

Sample Solution :

R Programming Code :

v <- 1:100
print("Original vector:")
print(v)
print("After extracting every 5th element of the said vector:")
n <- v[seq(1, length(v), 5)]
print(n)

Sample Output:

[1] "Original vector:"
  [1]   1   2   3   4   5   6   7   8   9  10  11  12  13  14  15  16  17  18
 [19]  19  20  21  22  23  24  25  26  27  28  29  30  31  32  33  34  35  36
 [37]  37  38  39  40  41  42  43  44  45  46  47  48  49  50  51  52  53  54
 [55]  55  56  57  58  59  60  61  62  63  64  65  66  67  68  69  70  71  72
 [73]  73  74  75  76  77  78  79  80  81  82  83  84  85  86  87  88  89  90
 [91]  91  92  93  94  95  96  97  98  99 100
[1] "After extracting every 5th element of the said vector:"
 [1]  1  6 11 16 21 26 31 36 41 46 51 56 61 66 71 76 81 86 91 96
