std::discar...engine::seed(3)

✨ std::discard_block_engine::seed ✨

Okay bestie, welcome to the glow-up era of your engine 💅 This is std::discard_block_engine::seed from the C++ Standard Library — like, the whole page, no skips, no cap.

🌸 Synopsis 🌸

void seed();                    (1) (since C++11)
void seed( result_type value ); (2) (since C++11)
template< class Sseq >          (3) (since C++11)
void seed( Sseq& seq );

So what's the vibe? This function reinitializes the internal state of the underlying engine using a brand-new seed value 🔥 That's the whole assignment, and it ate, honestly.

1. Seeds the underlying engine with the default seed value. Effectively calls e.seed(), where e is the underlying engine. The no-argument glow-up ✨
2. Seeds the underlying engine with the seed value s. Effectively calls e.seed(value), where e is the underlying engine. You hand it a value, it hands it down. Teamwork 🫶
3. Seeds the underlying engine with the seed sequence seq. Effectively calls e.seed(seq), where e is the underlying engine.

Okay so this third one has rules, and they matter, so listen up 🎀 This template only participates in overload resolution if Sseq qualifies as a SeedSequence. In particular, this template does not participate in overload resolution if Sseq is implicitly convertible to result_type. That's the fine print, bestie — it's not me being dramatic, it's literally the spec 💀

🦋 Parameters 🦋

• value — seed value to use in the initialization of the internal state of the underlying engine. Your starter number, your little spark 🌟
• seq — seed sequence to use in the initialization of the internal state of the underlying engine. The fancy multi-part seed situation 👑

🎀 Return value 🎀

(none)

Nothing. Zero. It returns vibes only 🙈

💜 Exceptions 💜

Throws nothing. A calm, drama-free, peaceful function. We love a low-maintenance icon 👑 No try/catch needed, she's not gonna do that to you.

⭐ that's the whole page, you understood it, main character energy ⭐
