how do i get the command randint on my matlab, my version matlab 7.8 (R2009a) is too old i guess

By reading Steven Lord's response in your other thread.

randint() is part of the Communications Toolbox. If you do not have this in your installation, I assume that you do not have that toolbox.

By the way, that function is in the process of being obsoleted and you are recommended to use randi() instead which is part of base MATLAB.

Hi,
Do not dispair, it is rather easy to build the function randint you youselves. Here it is:

function rint = randint(rows,cols,intv)
% RANDINT Random integers
% ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
% rows number of matrix rows
% cols number of matrix columns
% intv vector of 2 items [low,high], boundry values of rint interval

rint = round(rand(rows,cols)*(intv(2)-intv(1)) + intv(1));

I think that it is without errors, nevertheless, you may repair it, if any

Hi,
Yes, there was an error in the code. Improved version is as it follows:

function rint = randint(rows,cols,intv)
% RANDINT Random integers
% ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
% rows number of matrix rows
% cols number of matrix columns
% intv vector of 2 items [low,high], boundry values of rint interval

rint = floor(rand(rows,cols)*(intv(2)+1-intv(1)) + intv(1));

Example:
   hist(randint(100000,1,[-2,10]),13)

I hope that now it is good.
