Hi there, I am trying to write a c++ shared library for R. I need a function which has the same functionality as sample() in R, i.e., does permutation, sample with/without replacement. Does R have internal sample routine so that I can call it directly? I did not find it in R.h, Rinternal.h. Thanks
A quick grep of the source code tree tells you that the function is in .../src/main/random.c A general pattern for C .Internal functions is to use a prefix of "do_" in conjunction with the R function name. So in this case, the C function is called do_sample and begins at line 391 (for 2.0.1 patched) in the aforementioned C source file. HTH, Marc Schwartz
