PetscRandomGetValueReal

Generates a real random number. Call this after first calling PetscRandomCreate().

Synopsis

#include "petscsys.h" 
PetscErrorCode PetscRandomGetValueReal(PetscRandom r, PetscReal *val)

Not Collective

Input Parameter

• r - the random number generator context

Output Parameter

• val - the value

Note

Use VecSetRandom() to set the elements of a vector to random numbers.

Example of Usage

      PetscRandomCreate(PETSC_COMM_WORLD,&r);
      PetscRandomGetValueReal(r,&value1);
      PetscRandomGetValueReal(r,&value2);
      PetscRandomGetValueReal(r,&value3);
      PetscRandomDestroy(&r);
