Function
Definition
math.frexp()
Splits x into a fraction f and exponent n, such that f is 0.0 or
0.5 <= | f | <= 1.0, and f * 2n is equal to x. Both f
and n are returned: f,n = math.frexp(x).
math.ldexp(x, n)
Returns the inverse of the math.frexp() function; it computes the
value x * 2n.
math.random([x],[
y])
When called without an argument, returns a pseudo-random real
number in the range [0, 1].
When called with number x, returns a pseudo-random integer in
the range [1,n].
When called with two arguments, x and y, returns a pseudo-
random integer in the range [x, y].
math.randomseed(x
)
Sets a "seed" for the pseudo-random generator. Equal seeds
produce equal sequences of numbers.
