Translate Code?

[Alex Tweedly]

I'll have a try - though it's in R, not Python - and I've never used R -)

constant alpha = 2
constant n = 1000
-- x, y are arrays - initialised to 0 already for LC, so no need for "rep"

repeat with i = 2 to n
   -- runif(1) returns a random between 0 and 1, so do something similar
   put (random(10000) / 10000) * 2 * pi into theta
   put (random(10000) / 10000) ^ (-1/alpha) into f
   put x[i-1] + f*cos(theta) into x[i]
   put y[i-1] + f * sin(theta) into y[i]
end repeat

Any mistakes are mine - any correct bits are courtesy of Google -)
