slarnd()

real function slarnd	(	integer	idist,
		integer, dimension( 4 )	iseed )

SLARND

Purpose:

!>
!> SLARND returns a random real number from a uniform or normal
!> distribution.
!> 

Parameters

[in]	IDIST	!> IDIST is INTEGER !> Specifies the distribution of the random numbers: !> = 1: uniform (0,1) !> = 2: uniform (-1,1) !> = 3: normal (0,1) !>
[in,out]	ISEED	!> ISEED is INTEGER array, dimension (4) !> On entry, the seed of the random number generator; the array !> elements must be between 0 and 4095, and ISEED(4) must be !> odd. !> On exit, the seed is updated. !>

Further Details:

!>
!>  This routine calls the auxiliary routine SLARAN to generate a random
!>  real number from a uniform (0,1) distribution. The Box-Muller method
!>  is used to transform numbers from a uniform to a normal distribution.
