The class template uniform_real_distribution models a random distribution . On each invocation, it returns a random floating-point value uniformly distributed in the range [min..max).
uniform_real_distribution
public
construct/copy/destructexplicit uniform_real_distribution(RealType min = 0.0, RealType max = 1.0);
Constructs a uniform_real_distribution
. min
and max
are the parameters of the distribution.
Requires: min <= max
explicit uniform_real_distribution(const param_type & param);
Constructs a uniform_real_distribution
from its parameters.
uniform_real_distribution
public member functionsRealType min() const;
Returns the minimum value of the distribution
RealType max() const;
Returns the maximum value of the distribution
RealType a() const;
Returns the minimum value of the distribution
RealType b() const;
Returns the maximum value of the distribution
param_type param() const;
Returns the parameters of the distribution.
void param(const param_type & param);
Sets the parameters of the distribution.
void reset();
Effects: Subsequent uses of the distribution do not depend on values produced by any engine prior to invoking reset.
template<typename Engine> result_type operator()(Engine & eng) const;
Returns a value uniformly distributed in the range [min, max).
template<typename Engine> result_type operator()(Engine & eng, const param_type & param) const;
Returns a value uniformly distributed in the range [param.a(), param.b()).
uniform_real_distribution
friend functionstemplate<typename CharT, typename Traits> std::basic_ostream< CharT, Traits > & operator<<(std::basic_ostream< CharT, Traits > & os, const uniform_real_distribution & ud);
Writes the distribution to a std::ostream
.
template<typename CharT, typename Traits> std::basic_istream< CharT, Traits > & operator>>(std::basic_istream< CharT, Traits > & is, const uniform_real_distribution & ud);
Reads the distribution from a std::istream
.
bool operator==(const uniform_real_distribution & lhs, const uniform_real_distribution & rhs);
Returns true if the two distributions will produce identical sequences of values given equal generators.
bool operator!=(const uniform_real_distribution & lhs, const uniform_real_distribution & rhs);
Returns true if the two distributions may produce different sequences of values given equal generators.
