MATLAB: Using rand to generate numbers

Question

Hi

I have a simple question. I understand that both a and b vectors (please see below) will generate 5 random numbers from 0 to 5 with an interval of 1 between each number. But I would like to know if there is any difference between vectors a and b or if they have the same meaning.

 N=5;
 a = [0:N-1]+rand(1,N)/N;
 b = [0:N-1]+rand/N;

Thank you

Answer 1

Is this homework?

If so, I suggest you read

doc rand

and see what the difference is between the syntax

rand(1,N)

and

rand
