VecSetRandom#

Sets all components of a vector to random numbers.

Synopsis#

#include "petscvec.h"   
PetscErrorCode VecSetRandom(Vec x, PetscRandom rctx)

Logically Collective

Input Parameters#

x - the vector
rctx - the random number context, formed by PetscRandomCreate(), or use NULL and it will create one internally.

Output Parameter#

x - the vector

Example of Usage#

     PetscRandomCreate(PETSC_COMM_WORLD,&rctx);
     VecSetRandom(x,rctx);
     PetscRandomDestroy(&rctx);
