Hi 

So my particular problem is this: 

I have a row vector of length 5200 elements - specifically created by 

x<-rbinom(5200,1,0.5) 
y<-matrix(x,nrow=1,ncol=5200) 
y 

now, each element is either a 0 or a 1 - e.g. it could be (0,1,1,1,1,0,0,0,1,1,1) e.t.c. 

when the element is a 1, i need to multiply a number (say 1000) by 1.005, and if it is 1 again, multiply it _again_ by 1.005. 

so for example, say i have the vector (1,1). it would be 1000 X 1.005 X 1.005 

and if the element is 0, then i need to multiply by .995 - i.e. say the vector was (1,1,0) the value would be 
1000 X 1.005 X 1.005 X .995. 

so my questions are these: 
1. how do i make R do this automatically for each element and 
2. as each term is multiplied, i want to graph the progress of the initial 1000. 

any help would be greatly appreciated.
