Chapter 12: Random Number Generation

random_table_set

Sets the current table used in the shuffled generator.

Synopsis

#include <imsls.h>

void imsls_f_random_table_set (float table[])

The type double function is imsls_d_random_table_set.

Required Arguments

float table[]   (Input)
Array of length 128 used in the shuffled generators.

Description

The values in table are initialized by the IMSL random number generators. The values are all positive in except if the user wishes to reinitialize the array, in which case the first element of the array is input as a nonpositive value. (Usually, one should avoid reinitializing these arrays, but it might be necessary sometimes in restarting a simulation.) If the first element of table is set to a nonpositive value on the call to imsls_random_table_set, on the next invocation of a routine to generate random numbers using a shuffled method , the appropriate array will be reinitialized.

Example

See function imsls_random_GFSR_table_get.
