Creating R Sequence for 4 numbers increasing consecutively from different starting points

Question

I am experienced in R, however have little to no experience in sequences.

I would like to make a sequence of numbers where the first 4 numbers are starting points, and increase consecutively. Namely:

5,72,144,210,[now I repeat each +1], 6,73,145,211,[and so on],7,74,146,212

Hence:

c(5,72,144,210,6,73,145,211,7,74,146,212..)

Would greatly appreciate any ideas on how to set this up. I would for example need this to continue on for 60 iterations.

Answer 1

Something like:

x <- c(5,72,144,210)
rep(x, 60) + rep(0:59, each=length(x))

Or making use of R recycling as mentioned by Ronak Shah:

x + rep(0:59, each=length(x))

Or:

as.vector(do.call(rbind, lapply(c(5,72,144,210), function(k) k:(k+60))))

output:
