NAME¶

std::normal_distribution::normal_distribution - std::normal_distribution::normal_distribution

Synopsis¶

normal_distribution() : normal_distribution(0.0) {} (1) (since C++11)
explicit normal_distribution( RealType mean, RealType stddev = 1.0 (2) (since C++11)
);
explicit normal_distribution( const param_type& params ); (3) (since C++11)

Constructs a new distribution object. (2) uses mean and stddev as the distribution
parameters. (3) uses params as the distribution parameters.

The behavior is undefined if stddev is not greater than zero.

Parameters¶

mean - the μ distribution parameter (mean)
stddev - the σ distribution parameter (standard deviation)
params - the distribution parameter set
