Hello!
I was wanting to find out which random seed could generate the characters
in the word "love", for example, when I sample with replacement from the
vector of the letters. So I've written the code below:
seed=0
set.seed=0
x<-sample(letters,4,replace=T)
while (sum(x==c("l","o","v","e"))<4){
seed<-seed+1
set.seed=seed
x<-sample(letters,4,replace=T)
}
When I run this code I always get that the final x vector is
c("l","o","v","e"), but afterwards, when I try to set.seed iqual to the
value stored in object "seed" I can never reproduce this vector
c("l","o","v","e"), by doing sample(letters,4,replace=T). Why is that?
Thank you very much,
Isabel Natario
