Generate random numbers using For Loop

Generate random numbers using While Loop

R

# initialize a variable to store the random number
x <- 0
 
# use a for loop to generate random numbers from a uniform distribution
for (i in 1:100) {
  # generate a random number between 0 and 1
  x <- runif(1)
   
  # print the random number
  print(x)
   
  # check if the random number is greater than 0.9
  if (x > 0.9) {
    # break the loop
    break
  }
}

Output

[1] 0.5482922
[1] 0.81156
[1] 0.3938314
[1] 0.9569094

1. First, it initializes a variable called x and assigns it the value of 0. This variable will store the random number that will be generated in each iteration of the loop.
2. Next, it uses a for loop to repeat a block of code 100 times. The for loop has a variable called i that takes values from 1 to 100 in each iteration. The for loop is enclosed by curly braces {} that indicate the start and end of the loop body.
3. Inside the loop body, the code does the following:
It generates a random number between 0 and 1 using the runif function, which takes one argument: the number of random numbers to generate. In this case, it is 1. The random number is assigned to the variable x.
It prints the value of x using the print function, which displays the output on the console.
It checks if the value of x is greater than 0.9 using the if statement, which evaluates a logical condition and executes a block of code if it is true. The if statement is also enclosed by curly braces {} that indicate the start and end of the conditional block.
Inside the conditional block, the code uses the break statement, which terminates the execution of the loop and jumps out of it.
After the loop ends, the code stops running.

Generating Random Numbers Until Some Condition Is Met in R

R Language is mainly used for machine learning, statistics, and data analysis. Objects, functions, and R packages can easily be created by R. However we can use this language for other purposes like generating random numbers until a number greater than 0.9 is generated. We can do that using loops as R supports three kinds of loops.
