Genetic Algorithms in Elixir: Incorrect explanation of :rand.uniform() (pg 74 epub)
Text reads:
“The :rand.uniform/1 function produces a uniform integer between 0 and N-1…”
I believe this should be:
“The :rand.uniform/1 function produces a uniform integer between 1 and N…”
Note: there are follow up things to be corrected within the same paragraph.
