Last Updated : 15 Jul, 2025

**rcauchy()** function in R Language is used to compute random cauchy density among a range of inputs.

Syntax: rcauchy(N, scale)Parameters: N: Sample Sizescale: Scale to plot graph

Example 1:

Python3 1== `

R program to generate

random cauchy density points

Setting seed for

random number generation

set.seed(1000)

Set sample size

N <- 20

Calling rcauchy() Function

y <- rcauchy(N, scale = 10) y

`

Output:

[1] 16.654755 -9.459054 3.740548 -14.639724 -193.891140 2.160767 [7] -10.735449 -37.226131 8.051377 10.392275 19.616577 -9.662595 [13] 15.442965 -4.484467 -9.147612 2.330620 431.105051 -22.117519 [19] 2.730892 -37.046773

Example 2:
