Library: omutil - miscellaneous system utilities Include: omutil.xin

Return type: Integer Returns:        Random numbers based on the exponential distribution.

Declaration

  define external integer function UTIL_ExpRand (value integer lambda)

Use this function to generate random numbers based on the exponential distribution, the mean convergs on the seed-number.

Example

  include "omutil.xin"

  process
      local integer seed-number initial {20}

      repeat for integer i from 1 to 100
           output "seed-number : %d(seed-number) i: %d(i) random-number: "
               || "d" % UTIL_ExpRand(seed-number) || "%n"
     again
