Arguments

1:     $\mathbf{n}$ – IntegerInput

On entry: $n$, the number of pseudorandom logical values to be generated.

Constraint: $\mathbf{n}\ge 0$.

2:     $\mathbf{p}$ – Real (Kind=nag_wp)Input

On entry: must contain the probability of g05tbf returning .TRUE..

Constraint: $0.0\le \mathbf{p}\le 1.0$.

3:     $\mathbf{state}\left(*\right)$ – Integer arrayCommunication Array

Note: the actual argument supplied must be the array state supplied to the initialization routines g05kff or g05kgf.

On entry: contains information on the selected base generator and its current state.

On exit: contains updated information on the state of the generator.

4:     $\mathbf{x}\left(\mathbf{n}\right)$ – Logical arrayOutput

On exit: the $n$ logical values.

5:     $\mathbf{ifail}$ – IntegerInput/Output

On entry: ifail must be set to $0$, $-1\text{ or }1$. If you are unfamiliar with this argument you should refer to Section 3.4 in How to Use the NAG Library and its Documentation for details.

For environments where it might be inappropriate to halt program execution when an error is detected, the value $-1\text{ or }1$ is recommended. If the output of error messages is undesirable, then the value $1$ is recommended. Otherwise, if you are not familiar with this argument, the recommended value is $0$. When the value $-\mathbf{1}\text{ or }\mathbf{1}$ is used it is essential to test the value of ifail on exit.

On exit: $\mathbf{ifail}=\mathbf{0}$ unless the routine detects an error or a warning has been flagged (see Section 6).

On entry, $\mathbf{p}=〈\mathit{\text{value}}〉$.
Constraint: $0.0\le \mathbf{p}\le 1.0$.

$\mathbf{ifail}=3$

On entry, state vector has been corrupted or not initialized.

$\mathbf{ifail}=-99$
