When you say insert 16 as the third element, do you mean replacing the current third element (output has same length) or adding 16 in front of 14 and having an output length + 1? — Ben Norris, Sep 18 '20 at 18:18

1

sales <- c(sales[1:2], 16, sales[3:length(sales)])

or

index <- 3
number <- 16
sales <- c(sales[1:(index - 1)], number, sales[index:length(sales)])
