Hey guys,
I'm trying to write a loop that will repeat an action for a stipulated
number of times. I have written some code but i think i'm missing something.
for (x in 5) {
repeat{
x = runif(1:4, min = 0, max = 1)
print(x)
if (x== var_1[5]){
print("done")
}
print(x)}
}
The goal is to generate the random number 5 times.
Please help....

Is there anything wrong with just doing this?
x <- runif(5, min = 0, max = 1)
Also note that you use x to be at last 2 things: in
for (x in 5) {
you set it to 5, and then in the loop you
x = runif(1:4, min = 0, max = 1)
you make it a vector of length 4.
You also fail to use break to stop the repeat (something I never knew
existed in R!).

Hi Tolulope, The "in" operator steps through each element of the vector on the right. You only have one element. Therefore you probably want: for(x in 1:5) ...

Thanks guys, I've tried all you're suggesting, both for (x in 1:5) and break, but I cant seem to ascertain when the loop has generated a vector of 4 random numbers 5 times.
