Syntax
#include <xite/utils.h>
double gaussRandom( double my, double sigma );
Description
gaussRandom returns a random varable of type double
with gaussian distribution, mean value my, and standard
deviation sigma. The C library routine random is used
for random number generation, the user must call the
initialization routine srandom once before starting to
call gaussRandom. Using a fixed number (int) as input to
srandom enables you to reproduce the random sequence,
otherwise time(0) may be used as argument.
Return value
The random variable of type double.
