rand

Random Number.

Syntax

M = rand
M = rand(n)
M = rand(x1, x2, ... , xN)
M = rand(sz)
M = rand(x1, x2, ... , xN, classname)
M = rand(x1, x2, ... , xN, 'like', var)

Input argument

n

a variable: n-by-n matrix will be generated.

x1, x2, ... , xN

x1-by-...-by-xN values

classname

a string: 'single' or 'double'

var

a variable: single or double

Output argument

M

a matrix of random numbers.

Description

rand returns a matrix with random elements uniformly distributed on the interval [0, 1].

seed can be modified using rng.

The Mersenne Twister designers consider 5489 as default seed. Nelson uses it as default seed (0).
