Write your own function (2)

There are situations in which your function does not require an input. Let's say you want to write a function that gives us the random outcome of throwing a fair die:

throw_die <- function() {
  number <- sample(1:6, size = 1)
  number
}

throw_die()

Up to you to code a function that doesn't take any arguments!
