randomnumbers.uniform

Generate uniformly distributed random numbers

Synopsis
uniform(low, high, shape)

Description

The uniform function will generate floating point numbers that are uniformly distributed between the specified lower and upper bounds. The lower is included in the range but the upper bond is not. See the general tool description for a more mathematical definition of the point probabilities.

The lower and upper bounds can be any value and the lower bound must be less than the upper bound. The result will be integers in the range low $\leq$ x < high. The shape can be either an integer or a vector of integers where all the values are greater than zero. The default value of one will produce a scalar output.

Arguments

low	in	Lower bound
		Allowed:	integer
		Default:	-1.0
high	in	Upper bound
		Allowed:	integer
		Default:	1.0
shape	in	Shape of the output array
		Allowed:	integer or a vector of integers
		Default:	1

Returns
A floating point scalar or array.

Example
See the example for the randomnumbers constructor.
