random is a PRNG with value between 0.0 and 1.0 using the argument as
index into our array of variables and the indexed to value as
seed/state
and array of variables in the sense of ld() st()

hypot() is just the same as the C function
stolen from the fine manual:
 -- Function: double hypot (double X, double Y)
 -- Function: float hypotf (float X, float Y)
 -- Function: long double hypotl (long double X, long double Y)
     These functions return `sqrt (X*X + Y*Y)'.  This is the length of
     the hypotenuse of a right triangle with sides of length X and Y,
     or the distance of the point (X, Y) from the origin.  Using this
     function instead of the direct formula is wise, since the error is
     much smaller.  See also the function `cabs' in *note Absolute
     Value::.
