Takes in a vector, and returns a vector of pentiles

1	pentile(vector, decreasing = FALSE)

`vector`	an integer or numeric vector
`decreasing`	a logical input, which if set to `FALSE` puts smallest values in pentile 1 and if set to `TRUE` puts smallest values in pentile 5; `FALSE` is default

pentile is a convinient function to get integer pentiles of an integer or numeric vector. By default, the smallest values are placed in the smallest pentile.

Sometimes one may want to put smallest values in the biggest pentile, and for that the user can set the decreasing argument to TRUE; by default it is FALSE.

# Scores vector
scores <- c(1, 4, 7, 10, 15, 21, 25, 27, 32, 35,
            49, 60, 75, 23, 45, 86, 26, 38, 34, 67)

# Create pentiles based on the values of the vector
pentileScores <- pentile(vector = scores)
pentileScores <- pentile(vector = scores, decreasing = TRUE)
