Octave programming - some advice for newbie

[Yukisan]

Hi there - I am looking to get some help in programming with Octave. Trying to work out a random integer generator and well not really getting anywhere so far - I'm hoping someone can give an example or guide in terms of how I should go about doing it in Octave.

Thanks

I've never used Octave but, given that it's attempting to be a clone of Matlab, I'd guess that it's got a randint command somewhere. For instance, to produce a 4x5 matrix of random integers over the range (0, 100) in Matlab you'd issue the command

>> randint(4, 5, 100)

ans = 

    12    27    15    80
    91    54    97    14
    63    95    95    42
     9    96    48    91

Presumably Octave has something similar.

for reaching out for help with Octave programming! I can definitely understand the challenges of learning a new programming language. My advice for a newbie would be to start by getting familiar with the basic syntax and functions of Octave. This can help you understand how to structure your code and use the appropriate commands for your random integer generator. Additionally, there are many online resources and forums where you can find examples and guidance from experienced Octave users. Don't hesitate to ask for help and keep practicing - with time and effort, you will become more comfortable with Octave and be able to tackle more complex tasks. Good luck!
