g05tbf (logical)

1 Purpose

2 Specification

3 Description

4 References

5 Arguments

1: $\mathbf{n}$ – Integer Input

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: $\mathbf{state}(*)$ – Integer array Communication 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 array Output

On exit: the $n$ logical values.

5: $\mathbf{ifail}$ – Integer Input/Output

On entry: ifail must be set to $0$, $\mathrm{-1}$ or $1$ to set behaviour on detection of an error; these values have no effect when no error is detected.

A value of $0$ causes the printing of an error message and program execution will be halted; otherwise program execution continues. A value of $\mathrm{-1}$ means that an error message is printed while a value of $1$ means that it is not.

If halting is not appropriate, the value $\mathrm{-1}$ or $1$ is recommended. If message printing is undesirable, then the value $1$ is recommended. Otherwise, the value $0$ is recommended. When the value $-\mathbf{1}$ 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).

6 Error Indicators and Warnings

$\mathbf{ifail}=1$

On entry, $\mathbf{n}=⟨\mathit{\text{value}}⟩$.
Constraint: $\mathbf{n}\ge 0$.

$\mathbf{ifail}=2$

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.

$\mathbf{ifail}=-99$

An unexpected error has been triggered by this routine. Please contact NAG.
