Hi
About your question, I not so clear what your specific context is. So I create a general one for you, hope this can help. a<-function(x,y)sum(x*(10^seq(0,(y-1)))) You type a(2,4) then you have 2222 a(3,5) you have 555 If what you need here is only 2222, you can use a<-2222 and every time, type "a" is OK. If only 2222...2222 is used, but the number of 2 is unknown, you can say a<-function(x)sum(2*10^seq(0,(x-1))) a(4) can give you 4444 If you have further questions, feel free to inform me.
