Syntax

Description

R = randi(valrange,sz,arraytype) creates a matrix with underlying class of double, with randi integer values in all elements.

R = randi(valrange,sz,datatype,arraytype) creates a matrix with underlying class of datatype, with randi values in all elements.

The size and type of array are specified by the argument options according to the following table.

R = randi(valrange,sz,'like',P) creates an array of randi values with the same type and underlying class (data type) as array P.

R = randi(valrange,sz,datatype,'like',P) creates an array of randi values with the specified underlying class (datatype), and the same type as array P.

C = randi(valrange,sz,codist) or C = randi(valrange,sz,datatype,codist) creates a codistributed array of randi values with the specified size and underlying class (the default datatype is 'double'). The codistributor object codist specifies the distribution scheme for creating the codistributed array. For information on constructing codistributor objects, see the reference pages for codistributor1d and codistributor2dbc. To use the default distribution scheme, you can specify a codistributor constructor without arguments. For example:

spmd
    C = randi(8,codistributor1d());
end

C = randi(valrange,sz,___,codist,'noCommunication') specifies that no interworker communication is to be performed when constructing a codistributed array, skipping some error checking steps.

C = randi(valrange,sz,___,codist,'like',P) creates a codistributed array of randi values with the specified range, size, underlying class, and distribution scheme. If either the class or codistributor argument is omitted, the characteristic is acquired from the codistributed array P.

Examples

Create Distributed Randi Matrix

Create a 1000-by-1000 distributed array of randi values from 1 to 100, with underlying class double:

D = randi(100,1000,'distributed');

Create Codistributed Randi Matrix

Create a 1000-by-1000 codistributed double matrix of randi values from 0 to 12, distributed by its second dimension (columns).

spmd(4)
    C = randi([0 12],1000,'codistributed');
end

With four workers, each worker contains a 1000-by-250 local piece of C.

Create a 1000-by-1000 codistributed single matrix of randi values from 1 to 4, distributed by its columns.

spmd(4)
    codist = codistributor('1d',2,100*[1:numlabs]);
    C = randi(4,1000,1000,'single',codist);
end

Each worker contains a 100-by-labindex local piece of C.

Create gpuArray Randi Matrix

Create a 1000-by-1000 gpuArray of randi values from —50 to 50, with underlying class double:

G = randi([-50 50],1000,'double','gpuArray');
