Roll R←?Y
Y
may be any non-negative integer array. R
has the same shape as Y
at each depth.
For each positive element of Y
the corresponding element of R
is an integer, pseudo-randomly selected from the integers ⍳Y
with each integer in this population having an equal chance of being selected.
For each zero element of Y
, the corresponding element of R
is a pseudo-random floating-point value in the range 0 - 1, but excluding 0 and 1, that is, (0<R[I]<1)
.
⎕IO
and ⎕RL
are implicit arguments of Roll. A side effect of Roll is to change the value of ⎕RL
.
Note that different random number generators are available; see ⎕RL
for more information.
