Important: The linalg package has been deprecated. Use the superseding command LinearAlgebra[RandomVector], instead.

- For information on migrating linalg code to the new packages, see examples/LinearAlgebraMigration.

The randvector function generates a random vector of dimension n.  It is intended to be used for generating examples for debugging, testing, and demonstration purposes.

The equation entries=p specifies that the nullary function p is to be used to generate the vector entries.  The default is rand(-99..99).  Thus the vector entries are random two-digit integers.

The command with(linalg,randvector) allows the use of the abbreviated form of this command.

$\mathrm{with}\left(\mathrm{linalg}\right)\:$

$\mathrm{randvector}\left(3\right)$

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}\mathrm{-7}& 22& \mathrm{-55}\end{array}\right]$

poly := proc() Randpoly(3, x) mod 3 end proc:

$\mathrm{randvector}\left(2\,\mathrm{entries}=\mathrm{poly}\right)$

$\left[\begin{array}{cc}{x}^3+x^2+2x+1& x^3+2x^2\end{array}\right]$
