Yikes! The uniform distribution is a **continuous** distribution over an interval. You seem to want to sample over a discrete distribution. See ?sample for that, as in:
sample(1:4,100,rep=TRUE) ## or for this special case and faster sample.int(4,size=100,rep=TRUE) Cheers, Bert Bert Gunter "Data is not information. Information is not knowledge.
