How to generate random number 1 & 2 instead of 0 & 1 from binomial distribution?

Question

I would like to generate random number from binomial 1 or 2 instead of the usual 0 and 1. Normally we will use rbinom(10, 1, 0.4) to generate either 0 or 1, but is it possible to generate 1 and 2? Or is there any way to convert it?

you add 1? 1+ rbinom(10, 1, 0.4) ? or you can also do sample(1:2,probs=c(0.4,0.6),replace=TRUE). — StupidWolf, Apr 14 '20 at 14:16

You can do:

rbinom(10, 1, 0.4) + 1

Or use sample:

sample(1:2, 10, prob=c(0.6,0.4), replace=TRUE)
