cbind a vector multiple times in R

Question

I have a vector I would like to repeat n times using the vector as columns in the new matrix

i.e I have a vector

vec <- c(266, 130, 86, 69, 56, 39, 30, 44, 33, 43)
vec
[1] 266 130  86  69  56  39  30  44  33  43

I would like to produce n times

vec1 vec1
266  266
130  130
86   86
69   69
56   56
39   39
30   30
44   44  
33   33
43   43  .....

I am not entirely familiar with do.call but would you use that function to achieve this ?

Answer 1

R recycles vectors when you create a matrix, so you can use:

matrix( vec , length(vec) , n )

where n is the number of columns/repetitions.
