The <CODE>RAN</CODE> function is an element by element function that
requires one argument. The argument can be a scalar, vector or matrix. A scalar argument results
in a scalar. A vector argument results in a vector with the same length as the argument, and a
matrix (tensor) argument results in a matrix (tensor) with the same dimensions as the argument.
<CODE>RAN</CODE> uses the current value of the seed to generate the
next random number, <CODE>0 < RAN(v) < 1</CODE>.
The initial value for the random number seed is <CODE>12345</CODE>. Every time a random number is
requested, either from the <code><a href="../Commands/GenerateS04.htm">GENERATE/RANDOM</a>
</CODE> command or from the <CODE>RAN</CODE> function, the seed is updated.</p>
