Hello,



I want to create a flexible code for the following example: In stead of
using a different code for each n (as in my example below), I want to
write a general code for every n (n from 1 to 10).

Have you done any thinking about the size of hte programming task? Perhaps running this code?

> 20^(1:10)
[1] 2.000e+01 4.000e+02 8.000e+03 1.600e+05 3.200e+06 6.400e+07 1.280e+09 2.560e+10 5.120e+11 1.024e+13

So you might want to think twice about trying for n > 6 right off the bat/

expand.grid could be used:

col3 <- expand.grid(as.data.frame(matrix(rep(1:20, 3), ncol=3)))
col3[apply(col3, 1,sum)==20, ]

> nrow( col3[apply(col3, 1,sum)==20, ] )
[1] 171

I tried a lot of things, but I always got stuck with the number of
subloops or witch closing the brackets. Any suggestions?



Cheers,
