Generates a 20 row by 5 column array of uniformly distributed random numbers with values between 0.0 and 1.0.
rand(20)
Generates a 20 x 20 random array.
rand
Returns a single random real value between 0.0 and 1.0.
RAND uses GRAND to generate the random values. The SEEDRAND function determines the initial seed of the random number generator.
See RANDINT to generate an array of uniformly distributed random integers.
