\section{Standard Module \sectcode{rand}}
|
|
|
|
\stmodindex{rand} This module implements a pseudo-random number
|
|
generator with an interface similar to \code{rand()} in C\@. It defines
|
|
the following functions:
|
|
|
|
\renewcommand{\indexsubitem}{(in module rand)}
|
|
\begin{funcdesc}{rand}{}
|
|
Returns an integer random number in the range [0 ... 32768).
|
|
\end{funcdesc}
|
|
|
|
\begin{funcdesc}{choice}{s}
|
|
Returns a random element from the sequence (string, tuple or list)
|
|
\var{s}.
|
|
\end{funcdesc}
|
|
|
|
\begin{funcdesc}{srand}{seed}
|
|
Initializes the random number generator with the given integral seed.
|
|
When the module is first imported, the random number is initialized with
|
|
the current time.
|
|
\end{funcdesc}
