std::random...:operator()(3)

💖 NAME 💖

std::random_device::operator() - std::random_device::operator()

okay bestie, this is std::random...:operator()(3) — the std::random_device::operator() page from the C++ Standard Libary manual. yes, the name says it twice, and honestly? it’s giving “I said what I said” energy 💅✨

🎀 Synopsis 🎀

result_type operator()();  (since C++11)

this one generates a non-deterministic, uniformly-distributed random value. no cap, that’s the whole vibe: random, uniform, non-deterministic. 🔥

🌸 Parameters 🌸

(none) — zero parameters, bestie. it’s low-maintenance like that 🎀

🦋 Return value 🦋

a random number uniformly distributed in [min(), max()]. literally that exact range, periodt 💖

⚠️ Exceptions ⚠️

if a random number could not be generated, it throws an implementation-defined exception derived from std::exception. so yeah, that’s the “oop, no random for you” scenario 😭 — implementation-defined, meaning the implementation defines it, and it’s derived from std::exception.

• min — gets the smallest possible value in the output range. [static] (C++11) (public static member function)
• max — gets the largest possible value in the output range. [static] (C++11) (public static member function)

that’s the whole page, bestie — iconic, short, and to the point 🫶💅 source: http://cppreference.com · version/date: 2024.06.10 · page: std::random...:operator()(3) 🌈⭐
