Hi,

Suppose I have a vector in real number
(x1, x2, x3, x4, x5, x6)

My question is how I can get
x5*x3*x1 + x6*x4*x2 ?

        v <- c(x1, x2, x3, x4, x5, x6)
        m <- matrix(v,ncol=3)
        sum(apply(m,1,prod))

This could easily be ``generalized'' and bundled up in a function if so desired.

                cheers,

                        Rolf Turner
