class

std::default_random_engine

Default random engine

This is a random number engine class that generates pseudo-random numbers.

It is the library implemention's selection of a generator that provides at least acceptable engine behavior for relatively casual, inexpert, and/or lightweight use.

Member types

The following alias is a member type of default_random_engine:

member type	definition	notes
`result_type`	An unsigned integer type	The type of the numbers generated.

Member functions

In the case that this is a linear_congruential_engine type, it has the following member functions:

(constructor): Construct linear congruential engine (public member function)

min: Minimum value (public static member function)

max: Maximum value (public static member function)

seed: Seed engine (public member function)

operator(): Generate random number (public member function)

discard: Advance internal state (public member function)

Non-member functions

operator<<: Insert into output stream (function template)

operator>>: Extract from input stream (function template)

relational operators: Relational operators (function template)
