The function sprand() has methods to specify the type of the generated elements {Tv}. But a SparseArray has two type parameters, the second being the type used to stores the indices {Ti}. Does anyone have a magic trick to generate a random sparse matrix using Int32 (or others) instead of Int64? The…

Is there a way to select the type of indices Ti with sprand()?

I could probably use the similar() function as posted 3 hours ago here. Thanks @gdalle.

I am still wondering wether a sprand() method taking two types in parameters would be useful though
