          This implementation uses real numbers for the computation throughout (because
          it uses the <span class="bold"><strong>real-valued</strong></span> power and exponential
          functions). So to obtain a conventional strictly-discrete geometric distribution
          you must ensure that an integer value is provided for the number of trials
