[R] Issues when trying to fit a curve when generating random deviates

Dear friends,

Hope you are doing great.

I first generated random deviates from a binomial distribution with the
following code (I had to generate from a B(20,0.4) dist):
#Setting seed
set.seed(1234567)

#Generating 1000 random deviates from a B(20,0.4) Distribution
x <- rbinom(1000,20,0.4)
#Generating histogram for x
hist(x, col = c("green"),main="Histogram of Binomial Distribution
B(20,0.4)",freq=F)
#Generating the curve for x
There were 50 or more warnings (use warnings() to see the first 50)
warnings()
#the first 5 warnings are shown, but all the warnings are similar
Warning messages:
1: In dbinom(x, 1000, 0.4) : non-integer x = 2.120000
2: In dbinom(x, 1000, 0.4) : non-integer x = 2.240000
3: In dbinom(x, 1000, 0.4) : non-integer x = 2.360000
4: In dbinom(x, 1000, 0.4) : non-integer x = 2.480000
5: In dbinom(x, 1000, 0.4) : non-integer x = 2.600000
and the curve was not generated for the histogram.

Any ideas on what I could be doing wrong?

Best regards,

Paul
