Distribution Type in Numbers generated by Random function

Hello,
I am using the built-in Random() function in TestStand for generating random numbers with seed value of 0.
I was wondering about it's distribution. Does the built-in function use Normal or Uniform distribution?
Thanks

Uniform.

  • Unknown type in include generated by the function library?

    Hi,
    I have an include LZSHIP$01, that is generated by the function library.
    *   THIS FILE IS GENERATED BY THE FUNCTION LIBRARY.               *
    *   NEVER CHANGE IT MANUALLY, PLEASE!                             *

    but I get the error that type do_lock doesn't exist. Now I can't create do_lock, because the name doesn't start with Y or Z, and I can't replace the type do_lock by another type in the include, because the include is generated by the function library, and I can't change it manually.
    How do I fix this? thx!

    go To SE37 : Z_SHIP_STATUS_PLANNED.
    go to Export Parameters Tab and Chnage Types reference there with desired one instead of DO_LOCK.

  • Generate the random numbers

    How Do I Generate Random Numbers in iWorks
    Excel has the "F9" key to generate random numbers numbers don't
    please see below what i'm trying to do
    I open up a blank Excel worksheet, and type the number "1" into cell A1. Type the number "2" into cell A2. Then type the number "3" into cell A3. Type the number "4" into cell A4, and then type the number "5" into cell A5.
    2
    Type the word "PB" into cell A6.
    3
    Enter the function "=RANDBETWEEN(1,59)" into cell B1.
    4
    Enter an exact copy of this function "=RANDBETWEEN(1,59)" into cells B2, B3, B4, and B5.
    5
    Enter the function "=RANDBETWEEN(1,39)" into cell B6.
    6
    Hit the "F9" key to generate the random numbers simulating game.
    But in numbers how do i do this?
    Thanks!
    Alex...

    firstly your not asking about generating random numbers, your asking how do you make a workbook recalculate new random numbers. From M$'s website:
    F9
    Calculates all worksheets in all open workbooks
    It does not produce random numbers the equations should produce random numbers as soon as you enter them in. If they dont then you have automatic reclaculations turned off and F9 is forcing a recalc.
    In numbers there is not shortcut to forcing the workbook to recalculate other than enter data into a cell. So if you made a new table and then enter data. For every data point you enter you should see new data apear.
    Was just validating the method for forcing and its not working on my ipad. I will mark this conversation and if i find it i will respond again.

  • Function to generate a random ID

    Hello all,
    Do we have any inbuilt function in SAP to generate a random alphanumeric ID?
    The requirement is such that there is an import parameter "Sales Rep ID" which is optional. So if the user is not providing the ID, then we have to randomly generate it ourselves. Hence I am looking for a FM which does that job.
    Regards,

    look at the function modules in F052, rthere yiou can generate random value for any data type.

  • Generate multiple random numbers?

    Hi,
    I'm trying to generate random numbers using Math.random()* n;
    but I want the random numbers to reset to something different after
    a particular event is called. Instead, I've noticed the numbers
    either buzz away randomly in every frame (when placed inside
    onEnterFrame), or it picks random numbers once, and then uses those
    same values over and over (when placed outside the onEnterFrame).
    How do i get actionscript to generate new random numbers
    after each myMC.onPress = function(), or alternatively, after a
    score changes (like some kind of watch feature?)

    ok, i've got a half working version;
    function ranbot(x) {
    return Math.ceil(Math.random()* x) + "/" +
    Math.ceil(Math.random()* x);
    trace(ranbot(60));
    but is it possible to set up the function so the numerator is
    equal to or less than the denominator? Also, if the numerator is
    set to never exceed the denominator, then a large percentage -
    something like 25-50% of the output fractions would equal "1", like
    55/55, 23/23, 7/7, 28/28, and so on.
    I did something like this when using variables;
    var randombot2:Number = Math.ceil(Math.random()* 99);
    var randomtop2:Number = Math.min(randombot2 -
    Math.floor(Math.random()* randombot2* 0.5),
    Math.ceil(Math.random()* 99));
    - but I do not understand how this works in function
    terminology.

  • Random numbers generator

    i would my program to generate an int random number between 0 and "int max", how to do that?
    thanks for help
    Nite

    True. :-) But I meant that java.security.SecureRandom
    is a better source for randomnessLike I said, it all depends on the OP requirements. You can't use better in this case, IMHO.
    If the OP needs this for cryptographic purpose, then yes, SecureRandom is better. But if the OP needs it for his/her dice-game, then Random will suffice.
    (SecureRandom is RNG, Random is PRNG).If you mean that SecureRandom is a true random generator and Random is a pseudo random generator, you are gravely mistaken. SecureRandom is a pseudo random generator as well!
    To cite the famous Dr. Von Neumann on that subject: "Anyone who considers arithmetical methods of producing random numbers is, of course, in a state of sin.".

  • Generating unique no.'s using random function

    Hi,
    I'm trying to generate unique values for row and column say from 0-3
    and I read some where that if we use random.nextInt() we will get unique values but I'm getting repeated values.I'll appreciate if anyone can help me in this matter.Here's the code:
    import java.io.*;
    import java.util.*;
    import java.lang.*;
    public class random{
    public static void main(String args[])
    int b[]=new int[4];
    int c[]=new int[4];
    int i;
    Date date;
    Random random;
    date=new Date();
    random = new Random(date.getTime());
    for(i=0;i<4;i++)
    digit = random.nextInt(4);
    b=digit;
    for(i=0;i<4;i++)
    digit = random.nextInt(4);
    c[i] = digit;
    for(i=0;i<4;i++)
    System.out.println("column array is" + c[i]);
    for(i=0;i<4;i++)
    System.out.println("row array is" + b[i]);
    }//end main
    }//end class
    Thanks
    Suneetha.

    here is my code for generating a random number but not a unique number. with a big enough number the possibility getting a unique is high so you may modify it to suit you need:
      private void initial_node()
        float Qxyd = -1, Qyzd = -1, Cxyd = -1, Cyzd = -1;
        long seed;
        Q_table = new float[row][col];
        seed = (long)( Math.random() * System.currentTimeMillis() * 100000000 );
        Random rand1 = new Random( seed );
        seed = (long)( Math.random() * System.currentTimeMillis() * 100000000 );
        Random rand2 = new Random( seed );
        seed = (long)( Math.random() * System.currentTimeMillis() * 100000000 );
        Random rand3 = new Random( seed );
        seed = (long)( Math.random() * System.currentTimeMillis() * 100000000 );
        Random rand4 = new Random( seed );
        for( int i = 0; i < row; i++ )
          do
            Qxyd = (float)( rand1.nextFloat() + (float)rand1.nextFloat() / 3 );
          while( Qxyd < 0.35 || Qxyd == -1 );
          Q_table[5] = Math.abs( Qxyd );
    do
    Qyzd = (float)( rand2.nextFloat() + (float)rand2.nextFloat() / 7 );
    while( Qyzd < 0.45 || Qyzd == -1 );

  • How to generate a random number with at least 6 digits?

    Hi all,
    All is in the question. :-)
    I would like to generate a random number but the function "random
    number" in Labview isn't accurate enough.
    Do you know an algorithm to generate a random number of 6 or more
    digit?
    Thanks,
    PF

    Hi PF,
    It's simple. Use 2 random number functions in the same process. Now you
    should have 2 distinct random numbers that have the same accuracy. Let's say
    LV gives accuracy up to the thousandth (0.XXX), now if you divide one number
    by 1000 and then add to the other number you should then have something like
    0.XXXXXX. Actually, LV random number function can give up to about 17 digits
    (decimal). If you are looking for more digits (>17 digits), the idea above
    may not work, then the last thing you may want try is to generate two or
    three random numbers then convert all these decimal numbers to fractional
    strings chop off the 0 and dot then concatinate them together. After all
    it's still a random number. How many digits do you want to get? Make sure
    the indicators acce
    pt that many digits?
    Good luck
    Louis.

  • Urgent How to generate a random code such as registration code?

    I would like to ask that how to generate a random code?
    For example, when you register a E-mail account, you need to enter the code for activation. I would like to create a java Bean to do this job. Would you help me?

    In fact, I would like to set a 10 digi codes randomly (such as FH654CS081, MKO624VG9f) for user input when they register the forum account. This random code will be sent to the user's email. User have to input this code to a JSP web site. Also, the code which is inputed by user will be matched with the database. If user input success, the forum account will be activated.
    By generating this 10 digi codes, I want to handle this generation by using java bean.
    1) Any thing else i need to import ? (such as <% page import="java.......?")
    2) Any functions can handle this task?
    3) Any example can be my reference?
    Thank you very much

  • Generate a random number and make it STAY after "save"

    I searched around this forum and found that I can use this code to generate a random number:
    //this.rawValue = Math.round(Math.random() * 1000000);
    Works great. only problem is, once I practice on the "real" form and save, close, and reopen - it changes the random number every time. I need to figure out a way to make it save the 1st number it generates when someone opens the form and types info in it....then they save and close, etc.
    Can anyone help me? Thanks!!

    Example steps:
    1. Add a hidden field to the same subform with name 'hiddenField'.
    2. First time you open 'hiddenField' rawValue will be null.
    3. where ever you run the code to generate random number use scenario like this.
    if (hiddenField.isNull) {
    this.rawValue = Math.round(Math.random() * 1000000);
    }else {
    this.rawValue = hiddenField.rawValue;
    Hope this thelps.
