random weighted integers on interval [0, n)

available since version: 0.4

information

Produces random integers on the interval [0, N), where the probability of each individual integer i defined as Wⁱ/S, that is the weight of the i-th integer divided by the sum of all N weights. Use @seed property to get reproducible sequences. If @seed property was not explicitly set or specified, uses generator initialized with current time.

arguments:

• WEIGHTS weights (list of non-negative floats)
  type: list
  

properties:

• @weights Get/set list of weights (non-negative floats)
  type: list
  

• @seed Get/set generator seed
  type: int
  min value: 0
  default: 0
  

inlets:

• generates random number in interval [0, N), where N is number of weights.
  type: control

outlets:

• result value
