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

💅 std::linear...engine::seed(3) — seeded bestie edition 💅

okay so this page is std::linear...engine::seed(3) from the C++ Standard Libary manual, and we're here to set the state of a random-number engine. it's giving main-character energy ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

std::linear_congruential_engine::seed — and the manual spells it out again as std::linear_congruential_engine::seed (yes bestie, same name twice, it's that iconic 💅).

✨ Synopsis ✨

Two overloads, both since C++11, no cap:

void seed( result_type value = default_seed ); (1) (since C++11)
template< class SeedSeq >                      (2) (since C++11)
void seed( SeedSeq& seq );

Sets the state of the random-number engine. 🎲

1. Right after the state is set, *this == std::linear_congruential_engine(value) is true. ✅
2. Right after the state is set, *this == std::linear_congruential_engine(seq) is true. ✅

🎀 Parameters 🎀

• value — seed value to use to set the state.
• seq — seed sequence to use to set the state.

😭 Exceptions 😭

Throws nothing. literally nothing. the drama is zero. 💀

🔥 Complexity 🔥

1. Same as std::linear_congruential_engine(value).
2. Same as std::linear_congruential_engine(seq).
