Flopscope Context

Sampling; cost = numel(output).

Results are from the "continuous uniform" distribution over the stated interval. To sample Unif[a,b),b>aUnif[a, b), b > a multiply the output of random_sample by (b-a) and add a:

(b - a) * random_sample() + a
Note.

New code should use the random method of a Generator instance instead; please see the random-quick-start.

Parameters

size:int or tuple of ints, optional

Output shape. If the given shape is, e.g., (m, n, k), then m * n * k samples are drawn. Default is None, in which case a single value is returned.

Returns

out:float or ndarray of floats

Array of random floats of shape size (unless size=None, in which case a single float is returned).
