Generate a random number in a certain range in MAT

Question

How can I generate a random number in MATLAB between 13 and 20?

Answer 1

Best solution is randint , but this function produce integer numbers.

You can use rand with rounding function

  r = round(a + (b-a).*rand(m,n));

This produces Real random number between a and b , size of output matrix is m*n

Answer 2

if you are looking to generate all the number within a specific rang randomly then you can try ` r = randi([a b],1,d)

a=start point b=end point d= how many number you want to generate but keep in mind that d should be less than or equal to b-a

Answer 3

You can also use:

round(mod(rand.*max,max-1))+min

Answer 4

ocw.mit.edu is a great resource that has helped me a bunch. randi is the best option, but if your into number fun try using the floor function with rand to get what you want.

I drew a number line and came up with

floor(rand*8) + 13

Answer 5

Generate values from the uniform distribution on the interval [a, b].

      r = a + (b-a).*rand(100,1);

Answer 6

If you are looking for Uniformly distributed pseudorandom integers use:

randi([13, 20])
