__gnu_cxx::subtractive_rng(3cxx)

💅 NAME

__gnu_cxx::subtractive_rng — okay so this is a whole random-number-generator class living in the __gnu_cxx namespace, and it's been sitting in the 3cxx section of the manual this whole time, waiting for you to notice it. Bestie, we're noticing it now. 🫶

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <functional>

Inherits std::unary_function< unsigned int, unsigned int >. Yes, that std::unary_function. She's an heiress, she's got inheritance, it's giving old money. 👑

---

🎀 Public Types

• typedef unsigned int argument_type — literally just the type of the argument. That's the whole vibe.
• typedef unsigned int result_type — and this one's the return type. She gives back what she takes, size-wise.

---

🦋 Public Member Functions

• subtractive_rng () — the default ctor ✨ it initializes its state with some number you don't see. Not me being mysterious, that's genuinely what the docs say. It's a secret. iykyk.
• subtractive_rng (unsigned int __seed) — the ctor that lets you initialize the seed yourself, so you get to be the main character of the entropy. 🌈
• void _M_initialize (unsigned int __seed) — internal init helper, does its thing with a seed. Move along, nothing to see, but we're listing it because we keep every detail in this house. 💅
• unsigned int operator() (unsigned int __limit) — call it like a function, hand it a limit, get back a number less than the argument. Periodt. 🍓

🌸 Detailed Description

The subtractive_rng class is documented on SGI's site — so like, if you want the deep lore, that's where she lives. Meanwhile, right here, one thing matters a whole lot:

⚠️ this code assumes that int is 32 bits. no cap. if your int isn't 32 bits, this is not the fairy tale you were promised. 🧚

💖 Member Typedef Documentation

typedef unsigned int std::unary_function< unsigned int , unsigned int >::argument_type [inherited]

argument_type is the type of the argument. inherited, so it's not even hers originally — she's just wearing her mama's typedef and it slays. ✨

typedef unsigned int std::unary_function< unsigned int , unsigned int >::result_type [inherited]

result_type is the return type. also inherited. also serving. 💅

🧚 Constructor & Destructor Documentation

__gnu_cxx::subtractive_rng::subtractive_rng (unsigned int __seed) [inline]

Ctor allowing you to initialize the seed. you're in control, you pick the number, you're the main character. 🔥

__gnu_cxx::subtractive_rng::subtractive_rng () [inline]

Default ctor; initializes its state with some number you don't see. she keeps her secrets, and honestly? respect. 🙈

---

👑 Member Function Documentation

unsigned int __gnu_cxx::subtractive_rng::operator() (unsigned int __limit) [inline]

Returns a number less than the argument. that's it, that's the function, and honestly it ate. 🎀

and that's the whole page, bestie 💖 this little cutie came to you straight from libstdc++, filed under the 3cxx section — go forth and seed responsibly, mwah 🦋🌸
