std::gamma_...::operator()(3)

💖 NAME 💖

Okay bestie, welcome to the std::gamma_...::operator()(3) page from the C++ Standard Libary manual — yes, that’s “Libary,” we’re keeping it exactly as the header says 💀✨

The name is std::gamma_distribution::operator() — and the one-liner is literally the same thing again: std::gamma_distribution::operator() 💅

✨ Synopsis ✨

Two overloads, both (since C++11), both templated on class Generator:

          template< class Generator >                                       (1)
       (since C++11)
          result_type operator()( Generator& g );
          template< class Generator >                                       (2)
       (since C++11)
          result_type operator()( Generator& g, const param_type& params );

So here’s the vibe: these generate random numbers that are distributed according to the associated probability function. The entropy is acquired by calling g.operator() 🎲✨

The first version uses the associated parameter set. The second version uses params. And super important, no cap: the associated parameter set is not modified 🙅‍♀️

🎀 Parameters 🎀

• g — a uniform random bit generator object 🎰
• params — distribution parameter set to use instead of the associated one 🧚

🦋 Type requirements 🦋

• Generator must meet the requirements of UniformRandomBitGenerator ✅

🌈 Return value 🌈

• The generated random number 💖

⭐ Complexity ⭐

• Amortized constant number of invocations of g.operator() ⚡
