[Rd] A different error in sample()

[Kim Seonghyun]

Hi,

I have not checked the source code, but I think it is because of banker's round.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rounding#Round_half_to_even

Best regards,
Kim

Good day,

The use of "rounding" also doesn't make sense. If The number is halfway between two integers, it is rounded to the nearest even integer.

> round(2.5)
[1] 2
