Syntax: |
vout = RAN( v )
|
The RAN
function is an element by element function that
requires one argument. The argument can be a scalar, vector or matrix. A scalar argument results
in a scalar. A vector argument results in a vector with the same length as the argument, and a
matrix (tensor) argument results in a matrix (tensor) with the same dimensions as the argument.
RAN
uses the current value of the seed to generate the
next random number, 0 < RAN(v) < 1
.
The initial value for the random number seed is 12345
. Every time a random number is
requested, either from the GENERATE/RANDOM
command or from the RAN
function, the seed is updated.
