R help - Apr 2010 - getting random integers

I want 100 integers. Each integer, x, can be in the range 1 =< x => 10.

Does the following code give 1 and 10 the same chances to be selected as
2:8?

round(runif(100, min = 1, max = 10))

You can always take a look. If you use a much bigger sample size it will be
obvious:

hist(round(runif(1000000, min = 1, max = 10)))


I'd use instead:

hist(sample(1:10, 1000000, replace=TRUE))

If you just want to sample integers, use ?sample
