I want to repeat each



repeat.it <- c(0, 3951982, 7635488, 10986941)


by times:



repeat.times<- c(2L, 3L, 4L, 2L)


and get the result:



0,0,3951982,3951982,3951982,7635488,7635488,7635488,7635488,10986941,10986941


code I tried:
rep(repeat.it, each=repeat.times) but this seems to give me wrong results. How can I do it properly?

          rep(repeat.it, times = repeat.times)
          # [1] 0 0 3951982 3951982 3951982 7635488 7635488
