[R] Error in cut.default(a, breaks = 100) : 'breaks' are not unique

[Jeff Newmiller]

Range of values is a standard mathematical concept, unrelated to the number of values in your data set.  Consider using the summary function to learn about the range of your data. 

Also, read the Posting Guide (which warns you to use pain text in formulating your emails to the list to avoid corruption of your email). Always try to supply self-contained examples of code that conveys what you understand so far. Read http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5963269/how-to-make-a-great-r-reproducible-example for advice on communicating examples clearly.
