[R] Generate a sequence of random integer values

[Duncan Mackay]

Hello,
Have a look at the "sample" command.

E.g.
> sample(20)
 [1]  3  2 18  6 10  5  9 20 19 13  8 15 17  7  4 14 11  1 12 16

Subject: [R] Generate a sequence of random integer values


I'm trying to generate a sequence of random integer values.  I've tried
to combine the random (r) and the sequence (seq) functions but this
approach does not work.  For example, if I use the following command:

> a <- seq(1:100)
> a
  [1]   1   2   3   4   5   6   7   8   9  etc.

This is a good start, but what I really want is something that would
look like this instead

 [1]  3 96 45 67 8 24 99 63 8, etc.

where the integer numbers between 1 and 100 are randomly chosen.

Any help would be great, I've found workarounds in other stat packages,
but would prefer to do this in R.
