[R] Omitting members of a sequence

[Stuart Luppescu]

Hello, this is just a point of curiosity with me. I want a sequence of
numbers from 64 to 70, omitting the 2nd and 4th numbers. I can do it
these ways:

> seq(64, 70)[-c(2, 4)]
[1] 64 66 68 69 70

> foo <- 64:70
> foo[-c(2, 4)]
[1] 64 66 68 69 70

But how come this doesn't work?
> 64:70[-c(2, 4)]
[1] 64 65 66 67 68 69 70

Just wondering.
