I forgot to add that if you have less than 16GB of memory, then you were probably paging memory to disk and that would have take a much, much, longer time. When you are trying to do something BIG, do it in some smaller steps and look at the resources that it takes (memory, cpu, ...). Jim Holtman

Do you realize you are trying to create a vector with 1 billion entries, so this will take some time. How much memory do you have on your computer? Here are some times to generate increasing sample sizes. I have 16GB on my computer and it took only 30 seconds to generate the data and used almost

1. If you create a variable x or w or dummy, it is stored in the current environment. You can refer to it by the name x or w or dummy. If you create a column x in the data frame dummy, you can refer to it as dummy$x or dummy[["x"]]. That is a different x than the variable x in your current envi

If you pay attention and are careful not to use any variables names that conflict then you do not need a work around (and the conflicts function can help you see if there are any conflicts that you may need to worry about). Probably the best work around is to use the with or within function instea

This is a warning and in your case would not be a problem, but it is good to think about and the reason why it is suggested that you avoid using attach and be very careful when you do use attach. What is happening is that you first created a vector named 'x' in your global workspace, you then crea
