# randomUniformTensor(withShapeTensor:seed:name:)

Creates a RandomUniform operation and returns random uniform values

## Declaration

```swift
func randomUniformTensor(withShapeTensor shapeTensor: MPSGraphTensor, seed: Int, name: String?) -> MPSGraphTensor
```

## Parameters

- `shapeTensor`: 1D Int32 or Int64 tensor. The shape of the tensor generated
- `seed`: The seed to use to initialize state. All calls with equal seed yield an identical stream of random values.
- `name`: The name for the operation.

## Return Value

Return Value An MPSGraphTensor of shape containing random values in the defined range.

## Discussion

Discussion Returns a tensor of provided shape of random uniform values in the range [0.0, 1.0). Uses the provided seed value to initalize state. No state is preserved, and all calls with equal seed yield an identical stream of random values.
