# A really really cool method that does extremely important stuff (Careful, don't break it or the world might fall apart)
# x has to be larger than 2)
random <- function(x) {
  n <- sample(1:x, 3) # get 3 random numbers between 1 and x
  results <- list(num1 = n[1],
                  num2 = n[2],
                  num3 = n[3])
  return(results)

out <- random(20)
out$num1
out$num2
out$num3

Thank you!
