## Detailed Description

### template<typename _UIntType, _UIntType __a, _UIntType __c, _UIntType __m>
class std::linear_congruential_engine< _UIntType, __a, __c, __m >

A model of a linear congruential random number generator.

A random number generator that produces pseudorandom numbers via linear function:

The template parameter `_UIntType` must be an unsigned integral type large enough to store values up to (__m-1). If the template parameter `__m` is 0, the modulus `__m` used is std::numeric_limits<_UIntType>::max() plus 1. Otherwise, the template parameters `__a` and `__c` must be less than `__m`.

The size of the state is .

std::linear_congruential_engine< _UIntType, __a, __c, __m >::linear_congruential_engine | ( | _Sseq & | __q | ) |

inline explicit

Constructs a linear_congruential_engine random number generator engine seeded from the seed sequence `__q`.

Parameters

  __q | the seed sequence.

template<typename _UIntType, _UIntType __a, _UIntType __c, _UIntType __m>

void std::linear_congruential_engine< _UIntType, __a, __c, __m >::discard | ( | unsigned long long | __z | ) |

inline

Discard a sequence of random numbers.

Definition at line 325 of file random.h.

template<typename _UIntType, _UIntType __a, _UIntType __c, _UIntType __m>

static constexpr result_type std::linear_congruential_engine< _UIntType, __a, __c, __m >::max | ( |  | ) |

inline static

Gets the largest possible value in the output range.

Definition at line 318 of file random.h.

template<typename _UIntType, _UIntType __a, _UIntType __c, _UIntType __m>

static constexpr result_type std::linear_congruential_engine< _UIntType, __a, __c, __m >::min | ( |  | ) |

inline static

Gets the smallest possible value in the output range.

The minimum depends on the `__c` parameter: if it is zero, the minimum generated must be > 0, otherwise 0 is allowed.

Definition at line 311 of file random.h.

template<typename _UIntType, _UIntType __a, _UIntType __c, _UIntType __m>

result_type std::linear_congruential_engine< _UIntType, __a, __c, __m >::operator() | ( |  | ) |

inline

Gets the next random number in the sequence.

Definition at line 335 of file random.h.

template<typename _UIntType , _UIntType __a, _UIntType __c, _UIntType __m>

void std::linear_congruential_engine< _UIntType, __a, __c, __m >::seed | ( | result_type | __s = `default_seed` | ) |

Reseeds the linear_congruential_engine random number generator engine sequence to the seed `__s`.

Parameters

  __s | The new seed.

Seeds the LCR with integral value `__s`, adjusted so that the ring identity is never a member of the convergence set.

Reseeds the linear_congruential_engine random number generator engine sequence using values from the seed sequence `__q`.

Parameters

  __q | the seed sequence.

Seeds the LCR engine with a value generated by `__q`.

Writes the textual representation of the state x(i) of x to `__os`.

Parameters

  __os | The output stream.
  __lcr | A % linear_congruential_engine random number generator.

Returns

friend

Compares two linear congruential random number generator objects of the same type for equality.

Parameters

friend

Sets the state of the engine by reading its textual representation from `__is`.

The textual representation must have been previously written using an output stream whose imbued locale and whose type's template specialization arguments _CharT and _Traits were the same as those of `__is`.

Parameters

  __is | The input stream.
  __lcr | A % linear_congruential_engine random number generator.

Returns
  __is.
