Execseed

Top  Previous  Next

Expressions can be used to reset and save the seed for the random number generator.  Setting a scalar quantity to the function

 

cc=execseed;

 

saves the random number seed that will be used to generate the next random number.  In the process, it also re-initializes the random number generator using this seed value.

Setting the function to a scalar quantity (that must be integer)

 

execseed=round(cc,0);

 

resets the random number seed.

This item should be used very infrequently on the right hand side of a replacement statement as this forces a re-initialization of the seed for the random number generator.
