for ( i in 23:0 ) { V <- vector [ 1 : i ] }

I'm used to run that on Matlab
>> for indice=1:23,
V=vector(1:indice)
end
that give me 23 vectors as output.

Why the same command on R " for ( i in 23:0 ) { V <- vector [ 1 : i ] } " returns one only vector?
How can I obtain the 23 vectors that I need ?

Thank you.

Quoting Rolf Turner:

(1) Learn something about R; don't just hammer and hope. Read the
introductory manuals and scan the FAQ.

Hello,

Try the following.

lapply(1:23, function(i) 1:i)

As for why yuor code doesn't work, you're assigning 24 times a value to
V, on loop exit only the last one is there. A correct way using loops
would be

V <- list()
for(i in 1:23)
V[[i]] <- 1:i

Beware that the last vector goes from 1 _down_ to 0.

And do read An Introduction to R, file R-intro.pdf in your R/doc directory.

Hope this helps,

Re: for ( i in 23:0 ) { V <- vector [ 1 : i ] }

Thank you very much Rui.
I was in hurry because I'm working in a bank and on my master's degree thesys at the same time.
I know Matlab, but they want I use R to price a convertible bond (I can't get why...).
I read "An introduction to R" the last week-end and now I feel more confortable.
This is an help section and was not looking for a good telling-off but I'm sorry if I bothered somoone with my question.
