R help - Mar 2004 - R commands

I'm a R beginner.  Recently I conduct a project about expected return that 
involves using R for calculations.  I encounter three questions as follow:

Q1.  How to use R to demonstrate bootstrapping and Monte Carlo simulation 
under 10,000 times of random selection?
Q2.  How to do a loop in R?
Q3.  How to use R to do binominal tree calculation under multiple periods?

I'm perplexed by the R commands, so any hints or examples will be highly 
appreciated.

Hi Andy,

I know it doesn't answer all of your questions but have you read the
Posting guide (see the bottom of all posts) ?
http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and in particular, try
reading "An Introduction to R", chapter 9?

Note that in R, looping is relatively "slow" - if you can do things
using a vector, this is much better.

Try going to the R-project.org homepage and on the left hand side you'll
see Search - does searching for "bootstrap monte carlo" answer your
first question?

cheers,
Sean
