);

DESCRIPTION

This routine gets a matrix of the specified length, and fills it with uniform random values between 0.0 and 1.0. The routine kjb_rand() is used. The first argument is the adress of the target vector. If the target vector itself is null, then a vector of the appropriate size is created. If the target vector is the wrong size, it is resized. Finally, if it is the right size, then the storage is recycled, as is.

RETURNS

NO_ERROR on success and ERROR on failure This routine will only fail if storage allocation fails.

DISCLAIMER

This software is not adequatedly tested. It is recomended that results are checked independantly where appropriate.
