Random

NPM version Build Status Coverage Status

Random numbers.

Usage

To use in Observable,

random = require( 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/stdlib-js/random@umd/browser.js' )

To vendor stdlib functionality and avoid installing dependency trees for Node.js, you can use the UMD server build:

var random = require( 'path/to/vendor/umd/random/index.js' )

To include the bundle in a webpage,

<script type="text/javascript" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/stdlib-js/random@umd/browser.js"></script>

If no recognized module system is present, access bundle contents via the global scope:

<script type="text/javascript">
(function () {
    window.random;
})();
</script>

random

Namespace containing random number functionality.

var rand = random;
// returns {...}

The namespace exports the following functions to sample and shuffle elements from an array:

It also contains the following sub-namespaces:

  • array: pseudorandom number generator (PRNG) array creation functions.
  • base: base (i.e., lower-level) pseudorandom number generators (PRNGs).
  • iterators: pseudorandom number generator (PRNG) iterators.
  • streams: pseudorandom number generator (PRNG) streams.
  • strided: pseudorandom number generator (PRNG) strided array functions.

Examples

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<body>
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/stdlib-js/utils/keys@umd/browser.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/stdlib-js/random@umd/browser.js"></script>
