std::normal...:operator()(3)

🎀 std::normal_distribution::operator() — C++ Standard Libary page 🎀

okay so we're on the std::normal...:operator()(3) page, and the manual name is C++ Standard Libary — yes, that spelling, iykyk 💅. this is the call-operator page for std::normal_distribution, and it's giving overloaded, since-C++11, random-number-realness ✨

✨ NAME ✨

std::normal_distribution::operator() - std::normal_distribution::operator()

🌈 Synopsis 🌈

two overloads, both marked (since C++11), both absolute icons:

          template< class Generator >                                       (1)
       (since C++11)
          result_type operator()( Generator& g );
          template< class Generator >                                       (2)
       (since C++11)
          result_type operator()( Generator& g, const param_type& params );

these calls generate random numbers that are distributed according to the associated probability function. the entropy is acquired by calling g.operator() — that's the whole vibe 🔥

the first version uses the associated parameter set, the second version uses params. and bestie, the associated parameter set is not modified — she stays exactly as she is, periodt 💅

💖 Parameters 💖

• g — a uniform random bit generator object
• params — distribution parameter set to use instead of the associated one

🦋 Type requirements 🦋

• Generator must meet the requirements of UniformRandomBitGenerator. that's the rule, bestie

⭐ Return value ⭐

the generated random number. that's it, that's the tea 🫖

🔥 Complexity 🔥

amortized constant number of invocations of g.operator(). lowkey efficient, no cap 🧚

that's the whole page, bestie 🫶 — source: http://cppreference.com, version/date: 2024.06.10, and the footer title is std::normal...:operator()(3). mwah 💋
