randexp!
randexp!([rng], A::Array{Float64,N})
Fill the array A with random numbers following the exponential distribution (with scale 1).
Examples
julia> rng = Random.GLOBAL_RNG; # Optional, use the global random number generator
julia> arr = zeros(3, 3); # Example array
julia> randexp!(rng, arr)
3×3 Array{Float64,2}:
0.620358 1.63785 0.0897257
0.377653 0.0925307 0.729912
0.268513 0.313195 0.0650422This example generates random numbers following the exponential distribution and fills the array arr with the generated values. The exponential distribution has a scale parameter of 1.
Note: The rng argument is optional and represents the random number generator used for generating random numbers. If not provided, the global random number generator (Random.GLOBAL_RNG) is used.
Common mistake example:
julia> arr = [1, 2, 3];
julia> randexp!(arr)
ERROR: MethodError: no method matching randexp!(::Array{Int64,1})In this example, the function randexp! is called with an array of integers. However, the function expects an array of type Array{Float64, N} to fill with the exponential random numbers. Ensure that the array type matches the expected type to avoid such errors.
