R help - May 2010 - merging two vectors

Hi to all,

is there a better way instead for loop  to merge two vectors:

V1 <- c(1,3,5,7,9)
V2<-  c(20,40,60,80,100)
to
V_merged <- c(1,20,3,40,5,60,7,80,9,100)

Kind regards
Knut

Try this:
> as.vector(rbind(V1, V2))
 [1]   1  20   3  40   5  60   7  80   9 100


This presumes that both vectors are of the same length.
