[R] numbers loop in R

[David Winsemius]

I would have expected to see the assignment to B[k,] inside the loops.  
And to see some connection with the k index in the inner loops if you  
did not want all of the rows to be similar. Because the assignment is  
outside the loops, it happens only once.
