R help - Dec 2013 - replace NA with another vector

Dear R users,

I have two different vectors like below

x <- c( NA, NA, 3, NA, 1)
y <- c( 20, 40 ,50)

Combining x and y, I'd like to create new vector z

z <- c(20, 40, 3, 50, 1)


Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated.

Best,

Kathryn Lord

?z <- x
?z[is.na(z)] <- y
?z
#[1] 20 40? 3 50? 1


A.K.
