Hello R-users,

I am having a problem with the 'break' command in R. I am wondering if
anyone can help me out with this. My program is similar to the following.

a=rep(NA,5)
a[1]=0
for(i in 2:5)
{
    a[i]=a[i-1]+runif(1,0,3)
    if(a[i]>5)
    {
        i=2
        break
    }
}

What exactly I am trying to do is find the sequence 'a' where the
individual values of 'a' would not be larger than 5. In any sequence, if it
becomes larger than 5, it would set the counter to be 2 and regenerate from
i=2. But I guess I have not put the break command in the right place, so
even though the 'if' condition becomes true and it sets i=2, it does not
regenerate the values of 'a' since the beginning. Any help is really
appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Cassie
