How to extract a data.table row as a vector in R?

A data.table object is similar to a data frame object but there are few things that can be specifically applied to a data.table because data.table package functions was defined for a data.table object only. If we want to extract a data.table row as a vector then we can use as.vector function along with as.matrix so that the as.vector can read the row properly.
Loading data.table package:
> library(data.table)
Consider the below vectors and create a data.table object:
> x1<-sample(LETTERS[1:3],20,replace=TRUE)
> x2<-sample(LETTERS[1:4],20,replace=TRUE)
> x3<-sample(LETTERS[1:5],20,replace=TRUE)
> x4<-sample(LETTERS[2:5],20,replace=TRUE)
> x5<-sample(LETTERS[3:5],20,replace=TRUE)
> DT1<-data.table(x1,x2,x3,x4,x5)
> DT1
x1 x2 x3 x4 x5
1: B C C D E
2: B C D B E
3: B C C B E
4: C D A C E
5: C C D E D
6: A D D E E
7: A C A D E
8: B B E D E
9: C D B D C
10: A B E E E
11: C A D B C
12: C D A B E
13: C A E C C
14: A A A B C
15: C C E D D
16: B B C D D
17: A A D D E
18: B C D C E
19: C B D D E
20: C B C C D
Extracting rows as vectors:
> Row1<-as.vector(as.matrix(DT1[1]))
> Row1
[1] "B" "C" "C" "D" "E"
> is.vector(Row1)
[1] TRUE

> Row2<-as.vector(as.matrix(DT1[2]))
> Row2
[1] "B" "C" "D" "B" "E"
> is.vector(Row2)
[1] TRUE

> Row5<-as.vector(as.matrix(DT1[5]))
> Row5
[1] "C" "C" "D" "E" "D"
> is.vector(Row5)
[1] TRUE

> Row10<-as.vector(as.matrix(DT1[10]))
> Row10
[1] "A" "B" "E" "E" "E"
> is.vector(Row10)
[1] TRUE
> is.vector(Row10)
[1] TRUE

> Row18<-as.vector(as.matrix(DT1[18]))
> Row18
[1] "B" "C" "D" "C" "E"
> is.vector(Row18)
[1] TRUE
Let’s have a look at another example:
> v1<-rnorm(20,1,2.3)
> v2<-rnorm(20,1,0.5)
> v3<-rnorm(20,1,0.275)
> v4<-rnorm(20,1,1.05)
> v5<-rnorm(20,1,0.80)
> v6<-rnorm(20,1,0.007)
> DT2<-data.table(v1,v2,v3,v4,v5)
> DT2
v1 v2 v3 v4 v5
