sample

Hi,
They get different results:
with the same set.seed()
?x=c(3,2,6,1) 
?n=length(x)
?set.seed(1)
?sample(x,1,replace=TRUE)? 
#[1] 2
set.seed(1)
?sample(x,1,replace=TRUE,prob=rep(1/n , n) )
#[1] 6


?identical(sample(x,1,replace=TRUE),sample(x,1,replace=TRUE,prob=rep(1/n , n) ))
#[1] FALSE
A.K.
