[R] Vector of Numbers Not Output to Screen

[Jeff Newmiller]

This question is related to FAQ 7.16, which you should look up.

In general, whenever you just type a variable or function directly at the 
command line, R prints the result for you. Inside code blocks of any kind, 
it does not do that, so you need to use the print function yourself.
