How to create geometric progression series in R? (2024)

A geometric progression series is a sequence of numbers in which all the numbers after the first can be found by multiplying the previous one by a fixed number. To generate a geometric progression series in R, we can use seq function. For example, to generate a geometric progression series of 2 by having the difference of multiplication value equal to 1 up to 5 can be found as 2^seq(0,5,by=1) and the output would be 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32.
