Picking random elements from a vector but excluding certain numbers each time
I have this vector
K=c(1,2,3,4,5,6,8,10,12,14)
I want to pick 2 random elements from K such that my output never includes 6 or 14 or both each time. How can i do this for it to have output like if i used
S=c(1,2,3,4,5,8,10,12)
sample(S,2)

You may take 6 and 14 out of the vector of candidates to sample from, as in
sample(setdiff(K, c(6, 14)), 2)
