This function returns a random variate from the flat (uniform) distribution from a to b. The distribution is,
p(x) dx = {1 \over (b-a)} dxif a <= x < b and 0 otherwise.
This function computes the probability density p(x) at x for a uniform distribution from a to b, using the formula given above.
These functions compute the cumulative distribution functions P(x), Q(x) and their inverses for a uniform distribution from a to b.
