Replacing an element of a vector going wrong

[Rtist1]

Hey,

I'm trying to replace the first element of the following vector with the number 1: (3,4,5,6,7).

The code I used is

replace (x,x[c(1)],1)

However, for some reason it then decides to replace the third element only, changing my vector into (3,4,1,6,7)

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Thx

edit: I should add that when typing c(3) it replaces the 5th element...

@Rtist1

replace (x,x[c(1)],1)

replace (x,1,1)

Replace the first entry (1) with the value 1
You were telling jt to replace the 3rd entry.
You were telling it to get the value of the first entry and use that to determine the position of what to replace (3) , when in fact you intended 1.

Thank you, your way works.
