[ is for subsetting, you need c():

x <- c(10.4, 5.6, 3.1, 6.4, 21.7)
y <- c(12, 5.6, 7.2, 1.0, 9.3)
plot(x, y)

HTH ....

Hi,
I'm pretty new at programming and with the R language. I'm just trying to
get familiar with R and wrote a script in gedit (should I use emacs
instead?),

x <- [10.4  5.6  3.1  6.4 21.7]
y <- [12,5.6, 7.2, 1.0, 9.3]
plot(x,y)

then I went to the command window in the terminal (I'm using unix) to run
this with source("name_of_file"), but it doesn't work. Shouldn't a plot
come up automatically when I run it? What am I doing wrong? It knows what x
and y is, but I don't get an error of what might be wrong.

> source("name_of_file")
> x
[1] 10.4  5.6  3.1  6.4 21.7


Best,
Anna
