NAME¶

std::linear_congruential_engine::linear_congruential_engine - std::linear_congruential_engine::linear_congruential_engine

Synopsis¶

linear_congruential_engine() : (1) (since C++11)
linear_congruential_engine(default_seed) {}
explicit linear_congruential_engine( result_type value ); (2) (since C++11)
template< class Sseq > (3) (since C++11)
explicit linear_congruential_engine( Sseq& s );
(since C++11)
linear_congruential_engine( const linear_congruential_engine& ); (4) (implicitly
declared)

Constructs the pseudo-random number engine.

1) Default constructor. Seeds the engine with default_seed.

The overload (3) only participates in overload resolution if Sseq qualifies as a
SeedSequence. In particular, it is excluded from the set of candidate functions if
Sseq is convertible to result_type.

Parameters¶

value - seed value to use in the initialization of the internal state
s - seed sequence to use in the initialization of the internal state
