2.1.24.8.9 geornd

Description

Generates an array of random integers from a geometric distribution, seeds and generator number passed explicitly

Syntax

int geornd( long * v, uint n, double p )

Parameters

v

[output] Pointer to a double array, which contain the results

n

[input] The number of pseudo-random numbers to be generated. n>=1

p

[input] The parameter p of the geometric distribution representing the probability of success at a single trial

Return

Return NE_NOERROR(0) on success, otherwise error

Examples

EX1

//This example is to generate pseudo-random numbers from a geometric distribution
int geornd_ex1()
{
    int n = 10;
    long v[10];
    double p=0.01;
        
    int nRet = geornd( v, n, p);
 
    if(0 != nRet)
    	return 0;
    
    for(int i=0;i<n;i++)
        printf("v[%d]: %d\n",i, v[i]);

    return 1;
}
