loop through 2 vectors simultaneously and save in new vector












1















I have 2 vectors :



index <- as.integer(c(3, 5, 7))
sen <- c("first", "second", "third", "fourth", "fifth", "sixth", "seventh")


I want to save each string, according to its index in a new vector :



 mySen <- vector(mode = "character", length = length(index))


such that



> mySen
[1] "third"
[2] "fifth"
[3] "seventh"


I've tried nested loops but they output indices i and j of length 6



for (j in index){
for(i in 1:length(index)){
print(c(i,j))
}
}

[1] 1 3
[1] 2 3
[1] 3 3
[1] 1 5
[1] 2 5
[1] 3 5
[1] 1 7
[1] 2 7
[1] 3 7


whereas I want indices



1 3
2 5
3 7


Most importantly, I want my new vector mySen to be properly filled in as mentioned before



> mySen
[1] "third"
[2] "fifth"
[3] "seventh"

          You can subset sen with index



          mySen <- sen[index]
          mySen
          #[1] "third" "fifth" "seventh"
