R is not S-PLUS, and you need Modern Applied Statistics in S (4th ed) for a description including R. sample in R used a PRNG: see ?RNG in R for the details of PRNGs in R.

i have a question about the "sample" function used in R, does it work as a pseudo-dandom number generator programmed with C, like it is described in Modern Applied Statics with S-Plus 3d edition chapter 5 section 2?
