D3.js randomExponential() Function

The randomExponential() function is used to return a function that generates the random number based on the exponential distribution.

Syntax:

d3.randomExponential(lambda);

Parameters: It takes only one parameter that is given above and described below.

  • lambda: It is the rate of the exponential distribution function which is equal to the time between events in a Poisson process.

Returns: It returns a function.

Note: The value of the output may be different each time the function is run.

Below given are a few examples of the above function.

Example 1: When lambda is greater than one.
