@ -944,11 +944,23 @@ Return a pseudo random value between 0.0 and 1.0. @var{idx} is the
index of the internal variable which will be used to save the
seed/state.
To initialize the seed, you need to store the seed value as a 64-bit
unsigned integer in the internal variable with index @var{idx}.
For example, to store the seed with value @code{42} in the internal
variable with index @code{0} and print a few random values:
@example
st(0,42); print(random(0)); print(random(0)); print(random(0))
@end example
@item randomi(idx, min, max)
Return a pseudo random value in the interval between @var{min} and
@var{max}. @var{idx} is the index of the internal variable which will
be used to save the seed/state.
To initialize the seed, you need to store the seed value as a 64-bit
unsigned integer in the internal variable with index @var{idx}.
@item root(expr, max)
Find an input value for which the function represented by @var{expr}
with argument @var{ld(0)} is 0 in the interval 0..@var{max}.
