Examples

# Basics: 
coin()
table(coin(n = 100))
table(coin(n = 100, events = LETTERS[1:3]))

# Note an oddity:
coin(10, events = 8:9)  # works as expected, but 
coin(10, events = 9:9)  # odd: see sample() for an explanation.

# Limits:
coin(2:3)
coin(NA)
coin(0)
coin(1/2)
coin(3, events = "X")
coin(3, events = NA)
coin(NULL, NULL)
