>> help randi

randi Pseudorandom integers from a uniform discrete distribution.
R = randi(IMAX,N) returns an N-by-N matrix containing pseudorandom
integer values drawn from the discrete uniform distribution on 1:IMAX.
randi(IMAX,M,N) or randi(IMAX,[M,N]) returns an M-by-N matrix.
randi(IMAX,M,N,P,...) or randi(IMAX,[M,N,P,...]) returns an
M-by-N-by-P-by-... array. randi(IMAX) returns a scalar.
randi(IMAX,SIZE(A)) returns an array the same size as A.

R = randi([IMIN,IMAX],...) returns an array containing integer

values drawn from the discrete uniform distribution on IMIN:IMAX.

Note: The size inputs M, N, P, ... should be nonnegative integers.

Negative integers are treated as 0.

R = randi(..., CLASSNAME) returns an array of integer values of class

CLASSNAME.

R = randi(..., 'like', Y) returns an array of integer values of the

same class as Y.

The arrays returned by randi may contain repeated integer values. This
is sometimes referred to as sampling with replacement. To get unique
integer values, sometimes referred to as sampling without replacement,
use RANDPERM.

The sequence of numbers produced by randi is determined by the settings of

the uniform random number generator that underlies RAND, RANDN, and randi.
randi uses one uniform random value to create each integer random value.
Control that shared random number generator using RNG.

Examples:

Example 1: Generate integer values from the uniform distribution on

the set 1:10.
r = randi(10,100,1);

Example 2: Generate an integer array of integer values drawn uniformly

MATLAB Command Window Page 9

from 1:10.
r = randi(10,100,1,'uint32');

Example 3: Generate integer values drawn uniformly from -10:10.

r = randi([-10 10],100,1);

Example 4: Reset the random number generator used by RAND, randi, and
RANDN to its default startup settings, so that randi produces the same
random numbers as if you restarted MATLAB.
rng('default');
randi(10,1,5)

Example 5: Save the settings for the random number generator used by
RAND, randi, and RANDN, generate 5 values from randi, restore the
settings, and repeat those values.
s = rng
i1 = randi(10,1,5)
rng(s);
i2 = randi(10,1,5) % i2 contains exactly the same values as i1

Example 6: Reinitialize the random number generator used by RAND,

randi, and RANDN with a seed based on the current time. randi will
return different values each time you do this. NOTE: It is usually
not necessary to do this more than once per MATLAB session.
rng('shuffle');
randi(10,1,5)
