Hi,
Is there a way to specify the last element of a vector, similar to "end" in
MATLAB?
v[end]
would be MATLAB for
v(length(v))
in R.
While `v(length(v))' does yield the last element, that approach fails in the
following,
rep(v, each=2)[-c(1,length(v))]
which is meant to duplicate all elements of `v' except for the first and
last. (I.e., if `v <- 1:4', then we want '1 2 2 3 3 4'.)
So the question is, is there a better way specify the last element of a
vector? If not, is there a better way to duplicate all elements of a vector
except for the first and last? (I know you can achieve this using two
lines, but I'm writing because I want to do it using one.)
