Generating random numbers from a certain interval

1 view (last 30 days)
Hi, I generated random numbers within the range 0.0 to 0.01 by this code x= 0.0 + (0.01-0.0).*rand() ,but some of generated random numbers x have unwanted value like "1.1902e-004". How can I solve and skip this value to obtain normal values?
Thanks in advance,

format long g
before running your code (to generate the random numbers) and you should see how the effect of this format.
