std::geomet...distribution(3)

okay so bestie, welcome to std::geomet...distribution(3) from the C++ Standard Libary manual — yes, “Libary” is literally how it’s spelled in the header, iykyk 😭💅. This page is all about the constructors for std::geometric_distribution, and it’s giving “short but spicy”. Let’s get into it. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

• std::geometric_distribution::geometric_distribution - std::geometric_distribution::geometric_distribution

📜 Synopsis 📜

   geometric_distribution() : geometric_distribution(0.5) {}    (1)
(since C++11)
   explicit geometric_distribution( double p );                 (2)
(since C++11)
   explicit geometric_distribution( const param_type& params ); (3)
(since C++11)

So what does it do? It constructs a new distribution object. 💖

2. Uses p as the distribution parameter.
3. Uses params as the distribution parameter.

lowkey the default one (1) delegates to geometric_distribution(0.5) — that’s literally in the synopsis above, bestie. 👑

🎀 Parameters 🎀

• p — the p distribution parameter (probability of a trial generating true)
• params — the distribution parameter set

🧚 Notes 🧚

⚠️ Requires that 0 < p < 1. periodt. No sneaky out-of-range values, okay? 🫶

💀 Defect reports 💀

The following behavior-changing defect reports were applied retroactively to previously published C++ standards.

• DR: P0935R0
• Applied to: C++11
• Behavior as published: default constructor was explicit
• Correct behavior: made implicit

mwah 💋 this page came from http://cppreference.com, dated 2024.06.10, and the footer literally reads std::geomet...distribution(3). slay, you made it to the end. 🎀🦋💜
