randomnumbers.discreteuniform

Generate uniformly distributed random integers

Synopsis
discreteuniform(low, high, shape)

Description
The discreteuniform function will generate integers that are uniformly distributed between the specified lower and upper bounds. Both the lower and upper bound are included in the range. See the general tool description for a more mathematical definition of the point probabilities.

The lower and upper bounds can be any integer and the lower bound cannot be larger than the upper bound. The result will be integers in the range low $\leq$ x $\leq$ 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
high	in	Upper bound
		Allowed:	integer
		Default:	1
shape	in	Shape of the output array
		Allowed:	integer or a vector of integers
		Default:	1

Returns
An integer scalar or array.

Example
See the example for the randomnumbers constructor.
