RandomMatrix[m,n,min,max,options]

Aliases: None.
Description: RandomMatrix[ m, n, min, max, options ] returns a random matrix of size m by n with entries between the values min and max.
Arguments: m and n are the number of rows and columns of the matrix. min and max are the minimum and maximum values of the entries in the matrix. The options are MatrixType and EntryType. The option MatrixType has values Any, Diagonal, or Symmetric. The default is MatrixType $ \rightarrow $ Any which returns an ordinary unrestricted matrix. MatrixType $ \rightarrow $ Diagonal returns random diagonal matrices. MatrixType $ \rightarrow $ Symmetric returns random symmetric matrices. The option EntryType has values Integer or Real. The default is EntryType $ \rightarrow $ Real which produces real floating point numbers as entries for the random matrix. EntryType $ \rightarrow $ Integer produces integers as entries.
Comments / Limitations: None.
