Subject: Re: [xquery-talk] [xsl] Re: Random number generation : requirements From: "Hank Ratzesberger xml@xxxxxxxxxxxx" <xsl-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sat, 10 May 2014 18:50:14 -0000 |
Hello, The D3 JavaScript library has a few succinct first class random number generation functions. They produce normal, log normal and other distributions. They may be good models because they could demonstrate the use of functional programming in 3.1: https://github.com/mbostock/d3/wiki/Math#random_logNormal (From my brief reading, it seems that Dimitre's libraries can do similarly.) But I agree with others here that UUID generation would be a common use case, especially for XML databases.
