PetscRandomSeed

Seed the random number generator.

Synopsis

#include "petscsys.h" 
PetscErrorCode PetscRandomSeed(PetscRandom r)

Not collective

Input Parameter

• r - The random number generator context

Example Usage

      PetscRandomSetSeed(r,a positive integer);
      PetscRandomSeed(r);
      PetscRandomGetValue() will now start with the new seed.

      PetscRandomSeed(r) without a call to PetscRandomSetSeed() re-initializes
      the seed. The random numbers generated will be the same as before.
