5 letters "word" randomly generated

r, random

Solution

I would sample once and turn the result into a data.frame, which can be passed to `paste0`:

set.seed(42)
do.call(paste0, as.data.frame(matrix(sample(LETTERS, 50, TRUE), ncol = 5)))
#[1] "XLXTJ" "YSDVL" "HYZKA" "VGYRZ" "QMCAL" "NYNVY" "TZKAX" "DDXFQ" "RMLXZ" "SOVPQ"

Problem

I would like to create a vector of 10 "words" made of 5 characters that have been randomly generated. e.g c("ASDT","WUIW"...) At the moment I am using the following script but surely there should be a much better way of doing this ``` result = list() for (i in 1:10){ result[i]<-paste(sample(LETTERS, 5, replace=TRUE),collapse="") } result<-paste(t(result)) ```
