RAND(1G)                COMMAND REFERENCE                RAND(1G)



NAME
     rand - generate random sequence

SYNOPSIS
     rand [ -cn ] [ -hn ] [ -ln ] [ -mn ] [ -nn ] [ -sn ]

DESCRIPTION
     Output is a vector of number random elements in a given
     range.  The range can be set by specifying its low and high
     ends, or its low end and a multiplier.

     The range of numbers is determined by the parameters low,
     high, and multiplier.  The sequence of numbers is determined
     by the parameter seed.  These parameters are set by
     command-line options.

     Random numbers are first generated in the range 0 to 1,
     initialized by the seed.  If a multiplier is given, each
     number is then multiplied by its value.  If no multiplier is
     given, each number is multiplied by high-low (default 1).
     Finally, low is added to each number.

OPTIONS
     -cn  n elements per output line.

     -hn  high:=n.  If not given, high:=1.

     -ln  low:=n.  If not given, low:=0.

     -mn  multiplier:=n.  If not given, multiplier:=high-low.  If
          you use both -m and -h, the -h option is ignored.

     -nn  number:=n.  If not given, number:=10.

     -sn  seed:=n.  If not given, seed:=1.  n must be an integer.
          Any given seed produces the same sequence of random
          numbers each time you use it.

EXAMPLES
     The following example generates ten random numbers between 0
     and 1.

          rand

     The following example generates ten random numbers between
     10 and 35, three per line.

          rand -l10,h35,c3

     The following example also generates ten random numbers
     between 10 and 35, three per line.
