Hi there I am new to R, and I was hoping you guys could help me out. ?I
want to make a vector that is: vec(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10) and i want to
create a function called PercentileFinder, that if i plug in
PercentileFinder (vec, .9) it will give me 9. ?Creating the function is my
biggest hurdle please e-mail me back when you all get a chance. ?Thank you

If i am not mistaking the quantile function and percentile function and the
same other than the way they are expressed in R. ?I think where I am losing
it is just how to express the function.
myvec<- c(5,4,3,2,1,10,9,8,7,6)
PercentileFinder<- function (vec,p){
sortedlist<- sort(vec)
count<- length(myvec) #length of the list??
i think i might be on the right track i am just not sure where to put my
percents in? any tips would be appreciated.
