I am trying to generate a list of  length 4n which consists of the integers 1 to n repeated in groups of four, i.e.

1,1,1,1,  2,2,2,2,  3,3,3,3, . . . . , n,n,n,n

(The spaces in the list are added only for clarity.)

 I can generate the list as follows, but the code must be modified for any value n, and the code is UGLY!

c(rep(1,4), rep(2,4), rep(3,4), . . . ,c(n,4))

Can anyone help me?

Thank you,
John
