Turtle and Observer Command

random-gaussian `number`

Returns a random number with mean 0 and standard deviation`number`.

Note: StarLogo uses the random generator provided by Java, which, as of now, is a linear congruential formula (Knuth Art of Computer Programming, Vol 2, Section 3.2.1.), which uses a 48-bit seed. StarLogo only allows you to set 32 bits of this seed.

Examples:

random-gaussian 5 returns a random number with mean 0 and standard deviation 5.
