I need a random number generator, lets say 1-10.
1 is very likely to appear and 10 is very unlikely to appear, and everything in between decreases exponentially.
I dont know a good way to do this...
I need an explaination theoretically, and the code, in almost any language, doesent matter.
thanks peace

Why not just take log(rand(1,pow(exp(1),max))) ?

no idea... explaination?

create a normal random number between 0 and 10, then use that as the input to a mathematical function that returns what you want....

in other words, draw the distribution you want on a graph, then do a least square fit on it to get the function, then use that function: something like this:



/e
might want to do some rounding at the end if you want an integer
