[R] c() in Mac does not work

[R. Michael Weylandt]

My guess is that somewhere you've accidentally redefined "c" to be
another function. Try this:

Open the Terminal and type

R --vanilla

this will start R totally clean and then try

c(4,7,7)

c(1, 7:9)

I bet your issues go away. If that's the case, you can probably fix
things by clearing your old R session (which is probably being
auto-loaded each time) or by simply trying

rm(c)

to delete whatever you called c which overrode (is that the right
spelling?) the "real" c()

Hope this helps,
Michael
