And I think a lot of people coming from R to SAS actually don't know that we have our own matrix language. So once we enter into the IML procedure, everything is a matrix and we can do any kind of matrix algebra manipulation and simulation that we would in R as well. So for this example, I'm going to be doing a poker simulation, and I'm going to be playing the game Texas Hold 'em. So if you're not familiar with this game, let me just set the stage for you.
