Description
|
|
•
|
The flavor negative describes a random negative rational number in a particular range.
|
|
To describe a flavor of a random negative rational number, use either negative or negative(opts) (where opts is described following) as the argument to RandomTools[Generate] or as part of a structured flavor.
|
•
|
You can modify the properties of a random rational number by using the rational(opts) form of this flavor. The opts argument can contain one or more of the following equations.
|
|
This option describes the left endpoint of the range from which the random rational number is chosen. The left endpoint must be of type rational and negative and it describes a random rational number in the interval , where is excluded and inclusiveness of a is determined by the character option.
|
|
character = open or closed
|
|
This option specifies whether to include the left endpoint of the range from which the random rational number is chosen. The default value for this option is closed.
|
|
This option specifies the negative integer to use as the denominator for the random rational number that is generated. Note: The return value may be an integer, or a fraction with a denominator that is a factor of the specified integer.
|
|
The default denominator is .
