Concatenate strings in pairs?

I am trying to concatenate strings in pairs.

Here is what I am doing:

paste(c("C","S"), seq(1,5), sep="")

The result is:

C1, S2, C3, S4, C5

The result I want is:

C1, S1, C2, S2, C3, S3, C4, S4, C5, S5

c(outer(c("C","S"), 1:5, paste0))

paste0(c("C","S"), rep(1:5, each=2))

This did it. I did not realize rep had an each parameter. Thanks!

If the order is not important, you can try this:

paste(sort(paste(c("C","S"),rep(seq(1,5),2), sep = "")), collapse = ", ")

And you will get this result:

C1, C2, C3, C4, C5, S1, S2, S3, S4, S5
