Randomization in UDF
 

Hello everybody!

Does anybody know what command I can use to get an evenly distributed random number on the interval 0 to 1 in a UDF? There's an example in the UDF manual that mentions "cheap_gauss_random()", but is that really evenly distributed?

Any help is highly appreciated!

Thanks, Henrik

After looking in random.h I found the following commands are probably available:

cheap_gauss_random

cheap_uniform_random

gauss_random

uniform_random

Now, what's the difference between the "cheap" ones and the other ones??

Any help is as always highly appreciated Thanks, Henrik
