how to switch in R from columns to series -

So I have this data in R

  Afghanistan 48.673 Albania 76.918 Algeria 73.131 Angola 51.093 Argentina 75.901  

How do I change the number in a series? I need to appear in the following format

  data = c (48.673,76.918,73.131,51.093,75.901)  

without typing each number. If I use only copy and past, they will remain in the form of a column and some commands will not work until they are in series format. I am new in R, so I apologize for not using Epiphrate. I hope I made myself clear and you can help me

Thank you!
