Re: optimize code

Jonas,

You would have discovered this on your own but probably a good idea to use the 
line terminator ; else you'll print a list of values.

*if* you did the for loop as shown, you would have gotten a different, and 
random value, for each term. Octave very kindly re-seeds the random function, 
[it is my understanding] Fortran and Basic do not.

What you wrote would have produced identical to 
vector=rand(1,10);


However keep in mind that you can also make the vector other ways:
vector=rand(10,1);
just in case you need it a different type.

It is a bit of a newbie problem this, but can this be vectorised?
In principle I need to do

for i=1:10
vector(i)=rand
endfor

I would like to do it by using something that "looks"  somewhat like this
vector(1:10)=rand
Where different random values are assigned to the different positions of the 
vector.

Of course, the way I wrote it the same random value is assigned to all 
positions of vector, but I don't want that...

Is this possible?
