R: Sample integer values

SampleInt {raster} | R Documentation

## Sample integer values

### Description

Take a random sample from a range of integer values between 1 and `n`. Its purpose is similar to that of `sample`, but that function fails when `n` is very large.

### Usage

    sampleInt(n, size, replace=FALSE)

### Arguments

`n` | Positive number (integer); the number of items to choose from
`size` | Non-negative integer; the number of items to choose
`replace` | Logical. Should sampling be with replacement?

### Value

vector of integer numbers

### Examples

      sampleInt(1e+12, 10)

    # this may fail:
    #  sample.int(1e+12, 10)
    #  sample.int(1e+9, 10)
