MATLAB: Generate a 2-dimensional array with random numbers

Question

I want to generate a 2-dimensional array with random numbers. * The first column would contain values from 5 to 1000 and the second column would contain values from 1 to 7.*

I generated a 2-dimensional array with random numbers, but not sure about the bold part of the above paragraph.

Y = 10

Z = 2

result = rand(Y,Z);

result(:,2:2:end) = result(:,2:2:end) .* result(:,2:2:end)

Answer 1

Hi,

does this help:

n = 100; % number of random numbers
A = zeros(n,2);
A(:,1)= randi(996,n,1)+4;
A(:,2)= randi(7,n,1)
