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 -- Dep.
