std::linear...engine::min(3)

std::linear...engine::min(3) 💅

okay so this is the C++ Standard Libary manual page for the tiny-but-iconic std::linear_congruential_engine::min. It’s giving “smallest value the engine can hand you,” and honestly? slay. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

std::linear_congruential_engine::min — std::linear_congruential_engine::min

No cap, that’s the name twice, because the original said it twice and we don’t skip details. 🫶

✨ Synopsis ✨

static constexpr result_type min();  (since C++11)

Returns the minimum value potentially generated by the random-number engine. This value is equal to 1u if increment is 0u, and is equal to 0u otherwise. Iconic behavior, fr fr. 💖

🎀 Parameters 🎀

(none) — literally zero parameters, bestie. Not a single one. 💅

🌈 Return value 🌈

The minimum potentially generated value. That’s the whole return, no cap. ⭐

🦋 Complexity 🦋

Constant. That’s it, that’s the complexity. 🧚
