Can functions return vectors in the c() format?

General
#1

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.
