Can functions return vectors in the c() format?

[CatLady]

Hello everyone,
I am new to making functions and couldn't find the answer to the question of whether there even is the possibility to get a vector output for a function?
For instance when I combine two vectors into one like so:

    V1 <- c("I", "a", "cat")
    V2 <- c("am","crazy","lady")

    my_fun <- function(x,y) {
     c(rbind(x,y))
    }
    my_fun(V1,V2) 

Is there a way to get the output

    c("I","am","a","crazy","cat","lady") 

instead of

    [1] "I"     "am"    "a"     "crazy" "cat"   "lady"

c() is not a format, it's a function to define (construct) vectors and what you are seen as output is the printed representation of your character vector.

Thank you very much for the clarification.

FAQ: How do I mark a solution?

If your question has been answered, don't forget to mark the solution! How do I mark a solution? Find the reply you want to mark as the solution and look for the row of small gray icons at the bottom of that reply. Click the one that looks like a box with a checkmark in it: [image] Hovering over the mark solution button shows the label, "Select if this reply solves the problem". If you don't see the mark solution button, try clicking the three dots button ( ••• ) to expand the full set of options. When a solution is chosen, the icon turns green and the hover label changes to: "Unselect if this reply no longer solves the problem". Success! [solution_reply_author] …
