class:: Pexprand
summary:: random values that follow a Exponential Distribution
related:: Classes/Pkey
categories:: Streams-Patterns-Events>Patterns>Random
ClassMethods::
method::new
note::
lo and hi should both be positive or negative (their range should not cross 0).
::
argument::lo
lower boundary of values.
argument::hi
upper boundary of values
argument::length
number of values produced.
Examples::
code::
(
var a;
a = Pexprand.new(0.0001, 1, inf);
c = a.asStream.nextN(500);
// plot the values
c.plot(bounds: Rect(10, 10, 520, 380), discrete: true, parent: w);
// a histogram of the values
c.histo(500).plot(bounds: Rect(10, 410, 520, 380), parent: w);
)
