r.1H$YlY[ii++1H$YlY[ihs

Input is of the form [3 4], that is, a row vector with the two numbers.

Example

>> matl r.1H$YlY[ihs
> [3 4]
7

Explanation

This generates the geometric random variable without loops, by directly applying a a transformation to a uniform random variable. Note that log0.1 a is used instead of log a / log 0.1 to save 1 byte.

r        % random number with uniform distribution in (0,1)
.1       % number 0.1
H$       % specify two inputs for next function
Yl       % logarithm in specified base (0.1)
Y[       % floor. This produces the geometric random variable with parameter 0.1
i        % input number      vector of two numbers
ih        % inputconcatenate number
+horizontally with the previously generated random value
s  % addition
+     % sum of %vector additionelements
