Writing a simple for loop

Let's write a for loop to repeat a process several times, incrementally storing the results in a vector. We will use the function that we created in the previous exercise to roll dice.

Exercise instructions

  • Indicate in the for loop that the index should go from 1 to 10000.
  • Fill in the index for output to store each result.
  • Fill in the argument for roll_dice to roll two dice.

Hands-on interactive exercise

Have a go at this exercise by completing this sample code.

# Initialize a vector to store the output
output <- rep(NA, 10000)

# Loop for 10000 iterations
for(i in ___){
  # Fill in the output vector with the result from rolling two dice
  output[___] <- roll_dice(___)
}
