SEED Seed the Random Number Generator
Section: Random Number Generation
Usage
Seeds the random number generator using the given integer seeds. Changing the seed allows you to choose which pseudo-random sequence is generated. The seed takes twouint32
values:
seed(s,t)
where s
and t
are the seed values. Note that due to limitations
in ranlib
, the values of s,t
must be between 0 <= s,t <= 2^30
.
Example
Here's an example of how the seed value can be used to reproduce a specific random number sequence.--> seed(32,41); --> rand(1,5) ans = 0.8589 0.3727 0.5551 0.9557 0.7367 --> seed(32,41); --> rand(1,5) ans = 0.8589 0.3727 0.5551 0.9557 0.7367
