[R] How do you force runif to return non-duplicate results eg runif(0, 1, n=10)? thanks

runif by definition samples independently from U(0,1).  So by defnition 
the results are not duplicated.  It is possible due to finite computer 
representations that you would get duplicates to computer accuracy but the 
chance of that in sample size of 10 is about the chance of winning the UK 
lottery twice in a row, and much less plausible than a computer fault.
