NAME¶

std::independent_bits_engine - std::independent_bits_engine

Synopsis¶

Defined in header <random>
template<

class Engine,
std::size_t W, (since C++11)
class UIntType

> class independent_bits_engine;

independent_bits_engine is a random number engine adaptor that produces random
numbers with different number of bits than that of the wrapped engine.

Template parameters¶

Engine - the type of the wrapped engine
W - the number of bits the generated numbers should have
the type of the generated random numbers. The effect is undefined
UIntType - unless the parameter is cv-unqualified and is one of unsigned short,
unsigned int, unsigned long, or unsigned long long.

Type requirements¶

-
Engine must meet the requirements of RandomNumberEngine.
-
W must be greater than zero, and no greater than
std::numeric_limits<UIntType>::digits.

Member types¶

result_type UIntType

Member functions¶

constructor constructs the engine adaptor
(C++11) (public member function)
seed sets the state of the underlying engine
(C++11) (public member function)
base returns the underlying engine
(C++11) (public member function)

Generation¶

operator() advances the state of the underlying engine and returns the
(C++11) generated value
(public member function)
discard advances the adaptor's state by a specified amount
(C++11) (public member function)

Characteristics¶

min gets the smallest possible value in the output range (always zero).
[static] (C++11) (public static member function)
max gets the largest possible value in the output range (always 2w
[static] (C++11) -1).
(public static member function)

Non-member functions¶

operator== compares the internal states of the adaptors and
operator!= underlying engines
(C++11) (function)
(C++11)(removed in C++20)
operator<< performs stream input and output on pseudo-random number
operator>> engine adaptor
(C++11) (function)
