[R] ifelse command

[Greg Snow]

It would help us help you if you could give a description of what your ultimate goal is here.  Is it to simulate the dice?  Then you may want to just use the dice function in the TeachingDemos package (or you can animate the rolling with plot.rgl.die and roll.rgl.die in the same package).  Or is it to understand more use of the sample function?  Your original post did the correct thing with sample, but then immediately threw away the results without using them.  Is it to better understand random number generation?  Better understand putting values into categories? Use cut or findInterval (or others).

The more you help us understand your goals, the better we can help you.
