# Plotting randomly generated points [closed]

I am trying to generate 100 random points of variables mf1 and msc1 and calculate mhiggs. I want calculated values and corresponding random points to be printed together in human readable form. Also, What can be done if I want to choose only certain values of mhiggs and want to print those values along with corresponding random points? How can these generated points (for a specific value of mhiggs) be plotted?

mf1 = RandomReal[{100, 2000}, 100];
msc1 = RandomReal[{0, 2000}, 100];
For[j = 1, j < 10, j++,
Print[mhiggs[1, mf1[[j]], msc1[[j]]]]]

• use Table not For and Print – george2079 Mar 21 '17 at 17:56
• you could use MapThread[mhiggs[1,#1,#2]&,{mf1,msc1}] – ubpdqn Mar 22 '17 at 9:46

You didn't give the definition for the function mhiggs, so I will make up my own to illustrate the procedure.

mf1 = RandomReal[{100, 2000}, 100];
msc1 = RandomReal[{0, 2000}, 100];

(* Function simply adds its argument. Replace this with your definition. *)
mhiggs[x_, y_] := x + y


Then you can use Table to get value of function along with its arguments for first 10 points (or some other range). Results can be neatly printed with TableForm.

list = Table[
{mhiggs[mf1[[i]], msc1[[i]]], mf1[[i]], msc1[[i]]},
{i, 1, 10}];
TableForm[list, TableHeadings -> {None, {"mhiggs", "mf1", "msc1"}}]


Select with appropriate second argument is the way to extract only the interesting points (e.g. points (lists) where the first argument is larger than some threshold).

Select[list, #[[1]] > 2400 &]


To calculate values of mhiggs for all generated random points you can also write more concisely.

list = MapThread[
{mhiggs[#1, #2], #1, #2} &,
{mf1, msc1}
]
