linear_congruential_engine
is a random number engine based on Linear congruential generator (LCG). A LCG has a state that consists of a single integer.
The transition algorithm of the LCG function is x
i+1 ← (ax
i+c) mod m.
The following typedefs define the random number engine with two commonly used parameter sets:

minstd_rand0 (C++11)
|
std::linear_congruential_engine<std::uint_fast32_t, 16807, 0, 2147483647> Discovered in 1969 by Lewis, Goodman and Miller, adopted as "Minimal standard" in 1988 by Park and Miller |
minstd_rand (C++11)
|
std::linear_congruential_engine<std::uint_fast32_t, 48271, 0, 2147483647> Newer "Minimum standard", recommended by Park, Miller, and Stockmeyer in 1993 |
Template parameters
UIntType | - | The result type generated by the generator. The effect is undefined if this is not one of unsigned short, unsigned int, unsigned long, or unsigned long long. |
a | - | the multiplier term |
c | - | the increment term |
m | - | the modulus term |
Member types
Member type | Definition |
result_type (C++11)
|
The integral type generated by the engine. Results are undefined if this is not an unsigned integral type. |
Member functions
Construction and Seeding | |
(C++11) |
constructs the engine (public member function) |
(C++11) |
sets the current state of the engine (public member function) |
Generation | |
(C++11) |
advances the engine's state and returns the generated value (public member function) |
(C++11) |
advances the engine's state by a specified amount (public member function) |
Characteristics | |
[static] (C++11) |
gets the smallest possible value in the output range (public static member function) |
[static] (C++11) |
gets the largest possible value in the output range (public static member function) |
Non-member functions
(C++11)(C++11)(removed in C++20) |
compares the internal states of two pseudo-random number engines (function) |
(C++11) |
performs stream input and output on pseudo-random number engine (function template) |
Member constants
constexpr UIntType multiplier [static] (C++11) |
the multiplier term (a). (public static member constant) |
constexpr UIntType increment [static] (C++11) |
the increment term (c). (public static member constant) |
constexpr UIntType modulus [static] (C++11) |
the modulus term (m). (public static member constant) |
constexpr UIntType default_seed [static] (C++11) |
the default seed (1). (public static member constant) |
