[R] Finding the distance between ordered integers

I'm stuck on how best to of find the distance between ordered integers (presented below as a birthday problem). Given the vector x, how do I most efficiently generate the vector x[i+1] - x[i]? Thanks. --Dale For example... set.seed(555) x <- sample(1:365, 10, replace=TRUE) x <- sort(x) x
