An exponentially distributed random variate distribution is the distribution of time between events in a Poisson point process. The inverse scale parameter `lamda` specifies the rate of change.

Without augument the function returns a standard exponential distributed random variate with `lamda = 1.0`. The function is elemental.

Without argument the function returns a standard exponential distributed random variate E(1) with `lambda = 1`.

With single argument, the function returns an exponential distributed random variate E(lamda). The function is elemental. For complex auguments, the real and imaginary parts are independent of each other.

Note: the algorithm used for generating normal random variates is fundamentally limited to double precision.
For complex varible (x + y i) with independent real x and imaginary y parts, the joint probability density function is the product of corresponding marginal pdf of real and imaginary pdf (ref. "Probability and Random Processes with Applications to Signal Processing and Communications", 2nd ed., Scott L. Miller and Donald Childers, 2012, p.197):
For the complex variable (x + y i) with independent real x and imaginary y parts, the joint cumulative distribution function is the product of corresponding marginal cdf of real and imaginary cdf (ref. "Probability and Random Processes with Applications to Signal Processing and Communications", 2nd ed., Scott L. Miller and Donald Childers, 2012, p.197):
