[R] Programing and writing function help

[Erin Hodgess]

Actually, you will have duplicates with 400 pairs.

Here you will have 13^2 pairs with replacement and 13*12 pairs without
replacement and with regard to order.
How about this:
> z <- unique(x)
> y <- expand.grid(z[1:13],z[1:13])
> xx <- y[,1] != y[,2]
> y[xx,]

Just another thought.
