	Beginner needs help with following syntax: by balteo :: Rate this Message: Reply to Author \| View Threaded \| Show Only this Message Hello, I have the following matlab code that I am trying to run under octave: 1. function B=Binaire(p) 2. U= rand; 3. B=(U<=p); 4. end Can anyone please translate line 3. into plain English?

In the first case, one gets: octave> typeinfo(B) ans = bool while in the second case one gets: octave> typeinfo(B) ans = scalar To be just the same, your example should be: if (U <= p) B = true; else B = false; endif -- Francesco Potortì (ricercatore) Voice: +39 050 315 3058 (op.2111) ISTI - Area della ricerca CNR Fax: +39 050 315 2040 via G.

	Re: Beginner needs help with following syntax: by bharat pathak :: Rate this Message: Reply to Author \| View Threaded \| Show Only this Message hello julien p is the threshold parameter that is passed as an input to the function. let us assmue it's value is 0.5 p = 0.5 now every time you call the function from main environment or m-file, a random number in the range of [0 to 1] is generated in line 2, and this value is assigned to variable U on line 3 the generated random number is compared with threshold. in this example we assume p = 0.5. hence if the generated random number U happens to be less than or equal to threshold p, then value of B is 1, else the value of B is 0. hence this code helps in generation of binary random number based on the provided threshold. regards bharat From: balteo@...
