Usage

Arguments

n

Positive number (integer); the number of items to choose from

size

Non-negative integer; the number of items to choose

replace

Logical. Should sampling be with replacement?

Value

vector of integer numbers

Examples

Run this code
# NOT RUN {
  sampleInt(1e+12, 10)
  
# this may fail:
#  sample.int(1e+12, 10)
#  sample.int(1e+9, 10)
# }
