What were you trying to do?
run the "bench35" command.
What's wrong:
rand('uniform'), rand('seed',0)
??? Error using ==> rand
Unknown command option.
Error in ==> /mit/matlab_v5.3/distrib/toolbox/contrib/misc/bench35.m
On line 32 ==> rand('uniform'), rand('seed',0)
What should have happened:
It shouldn't have crashed. Well, just the function crashed,
not matlab. (I never know what to say at this line).
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
help rand doesn't mention rand('uniform') as an option, so I
assume that's what it's complaining about. If I take out
that bit of the line and rerun, it runs okay (though I don't
actually know if it's doing the right thing or not...)
