draw_unif(X;A;B)
Returns a random float between A and
B, using a given seed that remains persistent (sticky) even after
selections or links with expansion are used.
Syntax
draw_unif(X;A;B)Input
| Argument | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
X |
integer | A scalar value
|
A |
integer or decimal | A scalar value The start of the range of the randomly-generated float. |
| B | integer or decimal | A scalar value The end of the range of the randomly-generated float. |
Return Value
A random number is drawn, with replacement, for each row.
If X, A, or B is N/A, an error is
returned.
Note:
draw_unif(X;A;B) will work correctly even when selections or links with
expansion (expand="1") are used because the results are sticky. This means that the random number generated by the
function for each row will be the same after the expansion. When the
drawunif(X;A;B) function is used, a different random number will be
generated for each of the expanded rows.
