v1       <- c(1,2,3,4,5,6,7)                           # Create a vector from these values
v2       <- c(1:10)                                    # Create a vector from 1 to 10
v3       <- c(v1,v2)                                   # Concatenate the vectors

matrix1  <- cbind(v1,v2)                               # Column bind into a 2 x n matrix
