R help - Sep 2008 - Loop to fill in array skips over certain columns

Hello,

Below is a simple loop that should place a 3 in the first row of each  
column in the array "List".

iterations<-3
tweaksize<-0.00
ii <-1
List=array(-1000, dim=c(iterations,11))
colnames(List) <- c("orig", "0.05", "0.10",  
"0.15","0.20","0.25","0.30","0.35","0.40","0.45","0.50")
Entry=3

while (tweaksize<=0.5) {
if (tweaksize==0.00) coll = 1
if (tweaksize==0.05) coll = 2
if (tweaksize==0.10) coll = 3
if (tweaksize==0.15) coll = 4
if (tweaksize==0.20) coll = 5
if (tweaksize==0.25) coll = 6
if (tweaksize==0.30) coll = 7
if (tweaksize==0.35) coll = 8
if (tweaksize==0.40) coll = 9
if (tweaksize==0.45) coll = 10
if (tweaksize==0.50) coll = 11

List[ii,coll]=Entry
tweaksize = tweaksize + 0.05
}

List

However, if I run the loop, R skips the 4th column (0.15), 9th column  
(0.40), 10th column (0.45), and eleventh column (0.50).  Below is the  
output:

       orig  0.05  0.10  0.15  0.20  0.25  0.30  0.35  0.40  0.45  0.50
[1,]     3     3     3 -1000     3     3     3     3 -1000 -1000 -1000
[2,] -1000 -1000 -1000 -1000 -1000 -1000 -1000 -1000 -1000 -1000 -1000
[3,] -1000 -1000 -1000 -1000 -1000 -1000 -1000 -1000 -1000 -1000 -1000

Can anyone please suggest a reason why R is skipping these four  
columns?  Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Paul
