We have two functions in MATLAB namely rand() and randn() to generate random numbers. There exists a small difference between these two which lets us easy to use but complex to understand.
rand gives value from standard uniform distribution. That is they are in range [0,1].
randn gives value from standard normal distribution. A distribution with mean 0 and variance 1 is nothing but Standard Uniform Distribution. These are also in range [0,1]
In general we will use randn for generating random numbers.
