Notes:

aNotation round+(Val1) is for the nearest integer larger than Val1; bnotation exp[Val2] is for the exponentially distributed pseudorandom numbers with an average of Val2; c notation round(Val3) is for the nearest integer to Val3; dnotation U[Val4; Val5] is for the uniformly distributed pseudorandom numbers that range from Val4 to Val5
