Loops
To solve this problem first we need to understand the Concepts of Loops in R– R is very good at performing repetitive tasks. If we want a set of operations to be repeated several times we use what’s known as a loop. When you create a loop, R will execute the instructions in the loop a specified number of times or until a specified condition is met.
There are three main types of loops in R
- For Loop: With the for loop we can execute a set of statements, once for each item in a vector, array, list, etc.
- While Loop: While Loop can execute a block of code as long as a specified condition is reached.
- Repeat Loop: This loop can execute a block of code multiple times, however the repeat loop does not have any condition to terminate the loop. You need to put an exit condition implicitly with a break statement inside the loop.
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.
