[R] plotting 0,1 data

Can you give a reproducible example: it doesn't for me

x <- c(3, 5)
y <- c(0, 1)
plot(x, y)

What you might be getting confused with is

plot(y)

where the x axis is now at 1 and 2 -- this is because when only given
a single vector to plot, R plots the values against their indices,
which, as all indexes in R, start at 0.

For more on how to make a reproducible example, see this resource and

Best,
