[R] random number generation

[Adaikalavan Ramasamy]

Many ways of doing this. Try rbinom(n=1, size=1, prob=0.5) and you can
adjust the 'prob' argument if you have an unfair coin. The other one is
sample( c(0,1), 1 ) which is a sampling method and also has a 'prob'
argument. Other functions include rnorm, runif, rpois ....

Can a single random number be generated in R?  I have an exercise that
wants to simulate coin tosses, and I cannot seem to find a good example
of the use of random number generation in R.  Any help?
