To whom it may concern,

I am currently writing a program where I need to use function rep.
The results I get are quite confusing. Given two 
vectors A and B, I want to replicate a[1] b[1] 
times, a[2] b[2] times and so on.
All the entries of vector B are positive integers.
My problem comes from the fact that if I sum up 
all the elements of B, I get a certain 
value  x(for example 10000). And if i calculate 
the length of the vector obtained after 
replication, I dont always get x(10000) but 
sometimes I get x sometimes I get 9999 instead of 10000.
Has this problem been reported before? Do you 
need more information on my specific program.
Thanks for your time and help,
Best regards,
