uniform (Continuous)
Generates random numbers with uniform distribution.
Description
The uniform class object is used in the generate function to provide random numbers uniformly distributed over the interval [a, b), where a, b are the left and right bounds of the interval, respectively, and a, b∈R ; a < b.
The probability density function is given by:

The cumulative distribution function is as follows:
