std::indepe...:operator()(3)

💖 NAME

std::independent_bits_engine::operator() — std::independent_bits_engine::operator()

okay so this is the std::indepe...:operator()(3) page from the C++ Standard Libary manual, and we’re talking about the call operator for std::independent_bits_engine. yes bestie, the same name twice, it’s giving iconic symmetry 💅.

✨ Synopsis

result_type operator()();  (since C++11)

this cutie has been around since C++11 🎀.

🦋 DESCRIPTION-ish energy (the prose under Synopsis)

It generates a random value. The state of the underlying engine is advanced one or more times. periodt — that’s the whole vibe 🔥.

🎀 Parameters

(none) — not a single argument, zero params, nothing to pass in, we love a low-maintenance icon 🫶.

🌸 Return value

A pseudo-random number in [min(), max()] ✨. That range is literally right there, keep it exact.

💜 Exceptions

Throws nothing. Not one exception. The no-throw lifestyle is real 😌.
