FUNCTIONS

The GLIDER provides a set of functions that give values of characteristics of the lists, some simple mathematical functions (besides those provided by the Pascal language) and some random functions that generate random variates. These functions can be used in any place in the INIT and NETWORK sections in which a variable of the same type is allowed. Here is a list of these functions an the returned values.

1. LL number of messages of a list.
2.  MAXL maximum number of messages of a list.
3.  MINL minimum number of messages of a list.
4.  MEDL mean length of a list.
5.  DMEDL deviation of the mean length of a list.
6.  MSTL mean time of staying time in a list.
7.  DMSTL deviation of the mean time of staying time in a list.
8.  TFREE time that the list was free.
9.  ENTR number of entries in a list.
10.  MAX maximum value of a pair of real expressions.
11.  MAXI maximum value of a pair of integer expressions.
12.  MIN minimum value of a pair of real expressions.
13.  MINI minimum value of a pair of integer expressions.
14.  MODUL rest from dividing two real expressions.
15.  BER random value from a Bernoulli distribution.
16.  BETA random value from a Beta distribution.
17.  BIN random value from a Binomial distribution.
18.  ERLG random value from an Erlang distribution.
19.  EXPO random value from an Exponential distribution.
20.  GAMMA random value from a Gamma distribution.
21.  GAUSS random positive value from a Normal distribution.
22.  LOGNORM random value from a Lognormal distribution.
23.  NORM random value from a Normal distribution.
24.  POISSON random value from a Poisson distribution.
25.  RAND random value from a Multivariate distribution.
26.  TRIA random value from a Triangular distribution.
27.  UNIF random value from a real Uniform distribution.
28.  UNIFI random value from an integer Uniform distribution.
29.  WEIBULL random value from a Weibull distribution.
