g05tfc generates
integers
from a discrete logarithmic distribution, where the probability of
is
where
The variates can be generated with or without using a search table and index. If a search table is used then it is stored with the index in a reference vector and subsequent calls to
g05tfc with the same parameter value can then use this reference vector to generate further variates.
One of the initialization functions
g05kfc (for a repeatable sequence if computed sequentially) or
g05kgc (for a non-repeatable sequence) must be called prior to the first call to
g05tfc.

This example prints
pseudorandom integers from a logarithmic distribution with parameter
, generated by a single call to
g05tfc, after initialization by
g05kfc.
