Any ideas how to get a random number from 1 to n in SAGE?
Here's a bad way to do it: sage: n = 10^2 sage: G = SymmetricGroup(n) sage: G.random()(1) which will blow up as n goes to infinity. Here's a slightly better one: sage: x = random() sage: int(n*x) At least it gives a float's worth of precision. Should there be random_integer in addition to random_prime? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URLs: http://sage.scipy.org/sage/ and http://modular.math.washington.edu/sage/ -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
