## urd

urd — A discrete user-defined-distribution random generator that can be used as a function.

## Description

A discrete user-defined-distribution random generator that can be used as a function.

## Syntax

    aout = urd(ktableNum)

    iout = urd(itableNum)

    kout = urd(ktableNum)

## Initialization

itableNum -- number of table containing the random-distribution function. Such table is generated by the user. See GEN40, GEN41, and GEN42. The table length does not need to be a power of 2

## Performance

ktableNum -- number of table containing the random-distribution function. Such table is generated by the user. See GEN40, GEN41, and GEN42. The table length does not need to be a power of 2

urd is the same opcode as duserrnd, but can be used in function fashion.
