What distribution? What range?
Do you want to generate new values only when DISPLAY is called (as you wrote), or any time that the array is accessed: creation, indexing, displaying, conversion to other types, etc.?
Is there a particular reason why you cannot simply call RANDI directly ?

Without all the details of just what, precisely, is wanted, the basic idea would be to wrap the RNG call into a function so you don't have to call the RNG every time directly...
function res=getnewarray()
% return set of four (4) random integers on range 1-100 as row vector
res=randperm(100,4); % without repeitions comment out if rather have
%res=randi(100,1,4); % repitions possible (not likely, but allowed)
end
a=getnewarray
a = 1×4
46 18 15 73
<mw-icon class=""></mw-icon>
<mw-icon class=""></mw-icon>
a=getnewarray
a = 1×4
35 17 43 33
<mw-icon class=""></mw-icon>
<mw-icon class=""></mw-icon>
a=getnewarray
a = 1×4
98 77 37 46
<mw-icon class=""></mw-icon>
<mw-icon class=""></mw-icon>
Modify to suit -- any distribution can be set or can add arguments to allow changing number or parameters.
If it is more complicated, it might be desirable to build a class with methods defined for needed operations.
