std::piecew...:operator()(3)

🌸 NAME 🌸

• std::piecew...:operator() — aka std::piecewise_linear_distribution::operator() 💅

✨ Synopsis ✨

Okay bestie, this page lives in the C++ Standard Libary manual, and it’s all about the operator() of std::piecewise_linear_distribution 🦋. Here’s the synopsis, copied exactly so you can screenshot it and send it straight to the group chat 🫶:

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 );

It generates random numbers that are distributed according to the associated probability function. The entropy is acquired by calling g.operator() 🔥.

The first version uses the associated parameter set, the second version uses params 👑. And the associated parameter set is not modified — no cap, it stays untouched 💅.

🌈 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 🧚

🍓 Return value 🍓

The generated random number. That’s it. That’s the tea 🫶.

⭐ Complexity ⭐

Amortized constant number of invocations of g.operator() 💀.

That’s the whole page, bestie 😭💖. Source: cppreference.com · version/date: 2024.06.10 — mwah 💋 for the std::piecew...:operator()(3) page 🌟.
