Re: Question about random number generation in a user

["Gregory Snow" <Greg.Snow@intermountainmail.org>]

you could try:

 

output <- sapply(1:100, function(i) ET1() )

 

while technically there is an internal loop, you don't have to write it.

 

Hope this helps,

Subject: [S] Question about random number generation in a user defined function

If you run this function you will randomly have an output of 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4. 

What I would like to know how to do is to:
1)Have this function run 100 times (really 10,000) independently
2) the output of each interation assigned as elements in an array. 

I am thinking that some sort of a loop is mandatory in this situation. 

Any pointers?
