std::mersen...:operator()(3)

💖 NAME 💖

okay bestie, this is the std::mersen...:operator()(3) page from the C++ Standard Libary manual (spelling is exactly like that in the header — not me 🙈). It's all about the call operator for std::mersenne_twister_engine.

The NAME section is std::mersenne_twister_engine::operator() - std::mersenne_twister_engine::operator() — yep, listed twice, and it's iconic in a "why is this page so short" way. 🎀

✨ Synopsis ✨

result_type operator()();

(since C++11)

This generates a pseudo-random value, and the engine's state gets advanced by one position. That's the whole move, no cap. 🌀

The original has a note that says This section is incomplete 😭 so yeah, leaving that right here.

🌸 Parameters 🌸

• (none) — not a single parameter, bestie. Zero. Zilch. 🫶

💅 Return value 💅

A pseudo-random number in [min(), max()]. That range bracket is doing its thing, keep it exact. 🔥

⏱️ Complexity ⏱️

Amortized constant. Slay, efficient icon. ⚡

👀 See also 👀

• discard — advances the engine's state by a specified amount (C++11) (public member function). Very "I'll move the state for you" of it. 💫

💀 Category 💀

• Todo without reason — that's the category label, fr fr.
