Frederic,
you need to be more clear about what you want to do. If you are
sampling 100 numbers from 1:100 with replacement, the sum will always be
greater than 50 (as has already been pointed out).
In addition, you mention trying to eliminate zeros. If you are sampling
from 1:100 there will be no zeros. So what are you really trying to do?

The problem is that there
are some zeros while the numbers should range from 1 to 100
As the replace= TRUE if the smallest candidate is 1 may be replaced
because if I can have 1, fifty times this is equal to 50.
Remember that it is a sampling with a replacement
I am still wondering how I can remove the zero value.

[R] Sampe numbers
Hi Guys,
I am trying to sample 100 numbers from 1:100
i did it like this:
sample(1:100,100, replace= TRUE)
but i want again include a constraint that their sum must be equal to 50
How could I do it?
Cheers
