Name
random — generates a random number between two specified values
DESCRIPTION
random
generates a random number between the two values given by
low
and
high,
which are required arguments.
The number
can be uniform across the entire range or it can be a gaussian
distribution around the center of the range (or a named center).
The
-s
option specifies what integer seed to use to prime the random number
generator.
The
-u
option specifies that the random number distribution should be uniform
across the low-to-high range.
The
-g
option specifies that the random number distribution should be a
gaussian distribution around a default or named center, specified with
the
-c
option.
If neither
-u nor -g
is specified, -u will be used.
The
-v
option specifies verbose diagnostic output.
